    Ham & Asparagus Casserole

    3-3/4 cups uncooked yolk-free whole wheat noodles
    2-1/2 cups cut fresh asparagus (1-inch pieces)
    1 medium onion, chopped
    1 tablespoon reduced-fat butter
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
    1/8 teaspoon pepper
    1 cup fat-free milk
    1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1-1/2 cups cubed fully cooked lean ham
    1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
    1/3 cup french-fried onions
    2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

    Recipe



    Cook noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add asparagus. Cover and cook for 3-5 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain and set aside.

    In a large skillet, sauté the chopped onion in butter until tender. Combine the flour, thyme and pepper; gradually whisk in milk and broth until smooth. Add milk mixture to the skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in lemon juice.

    Drain noodles; add the ham, parsley, sauce and asparagus. Transfer to a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Top with fried onions and cheese. Cover and bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until bubbly. Uncover and bake 5-10 minutes longer or until golden brown
