Tips:

  • Choose fresh asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp, wilted, or have brown or yellow spots.
  • Trim the asparagus: Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this by bending the spear until it snaps naturally, or by cutting off the bottom inch or two.
  • Cook the asparagus properly: Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most popular methods are steaming, roasting, and grilling. No matter which method you choose, be careful not to overcook the asparagus, as it will become mushy.
  • Choose flavorful Portobello mushrooms: Look for Portobello mushrooms that are large, firm, and have a deep, earthy color. Avoid mushrooms that are small, soft, or have bruises or blemishes.
  • Clean the Portobello mushrooms: Wipe the Portobello mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt or debris. You can also remove the stems if you prefer.
  • Cook the Portobello mushrooms properly: Portobello mushrooms can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most popular methods are grilling, roasting, and sautéing. No matter which method you choose, be careful not to overcook the mushrooms, as they will become tough.
  • Use a flavorful pasta: The type of pasta you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. Choose a pasta that is flavorful and will hold up well to the other ingredients in the dish.
  • Don't skimp on the sauce: The sauce is what brings all the flavors of the dish together. Be generous with the sauce and make sure to coat all of the ingredients evenly.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs can add a pop of color and flavor to the dish. Some good options include basil, parsley, or chives.
