  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 1 (8 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and halved

Cook until sauce thickens, whisking frequently, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Fontina cheese and 2 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Stir until cheeses are melted and sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over pasta and stir in arugula and red bell peppers. Pour into prepared baking dish and sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
  5. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 minutes longer.
