Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 8 oz sliced Baby Bella mushrooms also labeled Cremini mushrooms
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • crushed red pepper flakes to taste
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 oz Israeli pearl wheat couscous
  • 6 oz asparagus cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 oz freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 oz prosciutto torn into bite size pieces

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil on the stove top. Add the couscous and cook until al dente (5-6 minutes for me). In the last minute of cooking, add the asparagus to the boiling water as well. Drain water from pasta and asparagus and set aside.
  • While the couscous is cooking, bring 1 tablespoon of oil to medium heat in a large skillet and then add mushrooms. Cook mushrooms until tender. Add another 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet and add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir for 30 seconds. Add the wine, stir and then simmer for 2 minutes.
  • In a large serving bowl, combine the couscous/asparagus and the wine/mushroom mixtures. Sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper and stir to combine and melt cheese. Add prosciutto and stir to combine.
