<\/p>\n

6 oz. whole-grain linguini<\/span>
4 thin slices prosciutto, chopped (1 1\/2 oz.)*<\/span>
2 teaspoons olive oil<\/span>
1\/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper<\/span>
2 medium leeks, white and light green parts, julienned (1 cup)<\/span>
1 1\/2 cups lower-sodium chicken broth<\/span>
1 (15-oz.) can cannellini beans, drained, rinsed<\/span>
1 lb. asparagus, diagonally sliced (1 inch)<\/span>
2 garlic cloves, minced<\/span>
1\/4 cup grated Romano cheese<\/span>

1. Cook linguini according to package directions; drain. Meanwhile, cook prosciutto in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove prosciutto.<\/span>
