Ham and Asparagus Macaroni
Ham & Asparagus Macaroni
4 ounces dried medium shell macaroni
12 ounces asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces

8 ounces chopped cooked ham (I got the bag of precooked and prediced for ease!)
1 cup chopped onion
7 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups milk
2 tablespoons finely shredded Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon lemon peel (I used a peeler and then diced it finely)

1. Cook macaroni according to package directions, adding asparagus the last two minutes of cooking. Drain; set aside.

Add flour; stir to coat. Add milk. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir one minute more. Stir in macaroni and asparagus, Parmesan, and lemon peel; heat through.
