Ingredients:

Serving

8 oz uncooked cavatappi pasta or elbow macaroni
3 cups (1 1/2-inch) slices asparagus (about 1 lb)
1 tsp olive oil
2 oz prosciutto, chopped
1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots
6 tbsp light mayonnaise
1 tsp grated lemon rind
1 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
dash of salt
1 cup diced tomato
1 1/2 oz pecorino romano cheese, grated (about 1/3 cup packed)

Directions:

Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Add asparagus during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain and rinse under cold water; drain.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to pan, and swirl to coat. Add prosciutto, and cook for 6 minutes or until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove prosciutto from pan using a slotted spoon, leaving drippings in pan. Drain prosciutto on paper towels. Add the shallots to drippings in pan; cook over medium heat for 1 minute or until shallots are tender, stirring frequently.
Combine mayonnaise, lemon rind, tarragon, juice, pepper, and salt in a large bowl; stir well. Add pasta, asparagus, three-fourths prosciutto, shallots, tomato, and cheese; toss well to coat. Top servings evenly with remaining prosciutto.
