Ingredients:  
Salt
1 lb. farfalle pasta
3 T. butter
1 lb. cremini mushrooms, thickly sliced
1 lb. thin asparagus, trimmed, cut crosswise into 1" pieces
1 c. mascarpone cheese
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
¾ c. walnuts, toasted

Directions:
Directions:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the farfalle and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a heavy large skillet oven medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until tender and most of the juices have evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the asparagus and sauté until the asparagus is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add the farfalle. Stir in the mascarpone and nutmeg and toss until the cheese coats the pasta, adding the reserved cooking liquid ¼ cup at a time to moisten. Stir in ½ cup of walnuts. Season the pasta, to taste, with salt and pepper. Mound the pasta in a large bowl. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and remaining ¼ cup of walnuts.
