12 large artichoke hearts (no added oil), chopped

Prepare pasta according to directions on package. Cook until al dente and drain. Set aside.

Heat garlic and olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus and saute until bright green and firm. Add artichokes. Reduce heat to low, add milk and ricotta cheese and stir continuously until a thick sauce begins to form.

Continue to cook for about 3-4 minutes, coating asparagus evenly. Add 1/4 cup parmesan cheese; stir until incorporated. Add pasta and stir to coat pasta with sauce.
