Pasta with Ham, Asparagus and Asiago Cheese

I know everyone out there is tired of turkey right about now so for those who have left over ham here is a very good and quick recipe.
This was good but next time we will add some red pepper flakes we felt it needed a little more kick.
I must say we used a bottle of SPY VALLEY Sauvignon Blanc. 2006.That was just great with this.
We were in the wine store the other day to see if we could find another bottle. (Ms. Does not allow you to buy wine on line and when you do find a good one, it is not guaranteed it will be there the next time you go to get a bottle.) We did find a 2007 that was given a high rating by one of the magazines so we hope it is as good.

1lb bow tie pasta (could use other but the bow ties made a pretty presentation and held the sauce nicely).
1-2 lb thin asparagus
1 ½ dry white wine
1 cup whipping cream
1cup shredded Asiago cheese
1 cup thinly sliced green onion.
2 cloves garlic
Salt and pepper to taste.

Cook pasta in salted boiling water for 10 min.
Add asparagus and boil until crisp-tender stirring occasionally about 3 min longer. Both should be tender but still a little firm. Drain pasta and asparagus in colander.
Will pasta is cooking in large heated skillet add ham and cook just brown stirring frequently about two min.
Add wine boil until reduced by half about 2 min.
Add cream bring to simmer, stir in cheese and 3/4 cup of the green onions.
Add pasta and asparagus and toss with sauce to coat.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with remaining green onions.

Easy Cobbler

Wow I cant believe I have been gone so long. I have been working out of town a lot the last few months and of course when I’m home there is a huge honey do list. I have been making a few of my favorite recipes we already have posted and a few new ones we made that were ok but not that great. I like to put the really good ones here not just the ok ones.
We did come across a great recipe for quick cobblers and just about made one of each kind. Blackberry , cherry, blueberry and strawberry.

We also used fresh fruit when possible blackberries and blueberries and with then another with the pie filling and we could not tell that big of difference.
½ cup butter
1 cup sugar
¾ cup flour (all purpose)
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
¾ cup milk
1 (15 oz can pie filling (flavor of your choice) or one cup fresh fruit may need to add more.

1. Melt butter in baking dish
2. Mix sugar, flour, salt, and baking powder
3. Add milk and mix well
4. Pour batter into melted butter …… do not stir!
5. Pour pie filling into batter(drop by spoonful and put several in middle and divide the rest into the corners and sides… do not stir!).
6. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until golden brown.
Serve with cool whip, whip cream, ice cream or just plain. Ummmmmm good.
