5 cups | farfalle pasta |
1 tsp | extra virgin olive oil |
2 | green onions, chopped |
2 cloves | garlic, minced |
1 2/3 cups | milk, skim or 1% MF |
2 tbsp | cornstarch |
1 cup | frozen peas |
1/2 cup | light cream cheese, cubed |

Directions
In large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until tender but firm, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserving 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the cooking liquid, drain and return pasta to pot.
Meanwhile, in saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook onions and garlic until softened, about 2 minutes. Add milk; heat until steaming. Whisk cornstarch with 2 tbsp (25 mL) water; stir into milk mixture and cook, stirring, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add peas, cheese, parsley, lemon juice, mustard, dillweed, salt and pepper; stir until cheese is melted. Add to pasta and toss to coat, adding reserved cooking liquid if desired. Gently stir in salmon.
