tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta. Return
to same pot.

Meanwhile, heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add leeks
and bell pepper; sauté 2 minutes. Add cream and simmer until slightly
thickened, about 5 minutes. Mix in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese and
country ham.

Add carrot and asparagus pieces to sauce. Season to taste with salt and
pepper. Pour sauce over pasta and toss to coat evenly. Divide pasta among 4
plates. Garnish with asparagus tips. Serve, passing additional Parmesan
separately.
