Creamy Alfredo Mac and Cheese with Spring Peas and Asparagus

be sure you don't overcook your pasta! you want it to be slightly under since it will continue cooking in the oven

if you cannot find penne pasta

if you're extremely sensitive to spice

if you find spring peas

make sure you use asparagus! asparagus will come out mushy and flavorless

keep an eye on the mac and cheese as it bakes. if the top appears to be getting too brown
