Ingredients
2 c. dry penne1.5 chicken bouillon cube dissolved in 1/2 c. water (I used Better than Bouillon)3/4 c. dry white wine1.5 pound asparagus, cut into 1" lengths1 pound salmon fillets, skinned1 c. nonfat yogurt4 tbsp. whole-grain mustard3/4 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper4 tablespoons chopped chives
Cook penne; drain and place in serving bowl.
In large skillet, bring 1/2 c. water to boil and dissolve your bouillon cube, then add the wine. Add asparagus and salmon, and poach until fish is just opaque in center and asparagus is tender-crisp, 5-6 minutes. (I prefer my asparagus a little softer-- if this is the case with you, either microwave the asparagus for about two minutes before putting it into the skillet, or cook for a few minutes in the liquid before adding the fish). With a slotted spoon, transfer salmon and asparagus to serving bowl, reserving the cooking liquid. Flake the salmon into bite-size pieces.
Meanwhile... beat the yogurt, mustard, salt, pepper (and chives, if using) and the cooking liquid. Pour over the penne mixture and toss to coat. If you're feeling rebellious, pour some wine straight onto your pasta, too.
