1.- Discard tough ends of asparagus and cut the rest in 1 inches pieces.
2.- Heat a large skillet and add the olive oil. Cook the onion until soft then add the garlic and the ham until brown.
3.- Add the almonds and cook for another 3 minutes, then add the asparagus cooking for another 5 minutes.
4.- Add the cornstarch mixing well with all the ingredients before adding the milk, when all is mixed well add salt and pepper, and the cottage cheese.
5.- Mix well adding the fresh basil.
6.- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, drained and pour over a large dish with the asparagus mixture, combining thoroughly.
Note: I use low fat milk and cottage cheese to reduce the calories, but you can use regular milk and other kind of cheeses as well. The almonds with the ham and the asparagus make and excellent combination!
