- Season (you may not need any salt depending on the feta you are using, but freshly cracked pepper in the sauce is a must).
- Shape the hot grains in a timbale mold. Pour the sauce around. Accompany with a saute of asparagus spears (start with approximately 1 pound, trimmed and blanched) and mixed wild mushrooms (again, start with a scant pound, trimmed and cut into different shapes).
- Garnish with herb sprigs.
ASPARAGUS WITH MUSHROOMS--FAT-FREE AND DELICIOUS!
This is an adaptation of several recipes... I liked the idea of asparagus and mushrooms, and asparagus with lemon, but all the recipes called for butter and herbs and such. This is very simple. I bet it really isn't a recipe, but hey, it works for me!

ASPARAGUS-MUSHROOM SAUTé WITH CREAM
This combination of oyster mushrooms and asparagus hits the spring vegetable sweet spot. Raleigh, NC chef Ashley Christensen adds cream and finishes with porcini butter, a flavorful compound butter you should make in advance. It's an optional addition, but its earthy punch makes this dish a knockout.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add mushrooms to the pan in an even layer. Sear, stirring a few times, until the moisture from the mushrooms has evaporated and the edges begin to crisp, 1-2 minutes. (If the pan seems dry as the mushrooms cook, add remaining ½ tablespoon oil.) Add the shallots and thyme; stir to coat and cook, 1 minute. Add asparagus and a pinch of salt, and continue cooking until the asparagus are bright green and slightly soft, 1-2 minutes depending on asparagus size.
- Add sherry and swirl the pan until the liquid has reduced by ¾. Add heavy cream and let it reduce until it has thickened slightly, 2 minutes. Stir in one tablespoon of butter and one tablespoon of porcini butter, and continue sautéing until the sauce coats the vegetables, 1 more minute. Turn off heat. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if necessary, and finish with lemon juice. Serve immediately. Porcini Butter: In a small saucepan combine mushrooms with just enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook on low heat for 45 minutes. Mushrooms should be soft, with a bit of liquid in the pan. Purée mushrooms and remaining liquid with butter until smooth. Transfer to a lidded container and refrigerate until ready to use. Porcini butter can be stored in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks and in the freezer up to 3 months.

FETTUCCINE WITH MUSHROOMS AND ASPARAGUS
Steps:
- 1. Bring 6 quarts water to a boil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over high heat, then add 2 tablespoons salt.
- 2. While waiting for the water to boil, heat the oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and pepper flakes and sauté quickly to keep the ingredients from scorching. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until the mushrooms darken slightly in color and are softened but still holding their shape, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and asparagus and cook, stirring gently, for 2 minutes. Stir in the cream, immediately reduce the heat to keep it from scorching, and cook for several minutes.
- 3. Meanwhile, toast the pine nuts in a sauté pan over low heat, shaking the pan, just until they are warm and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- 4. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente, 7 to 9 minutes from the time the water returns to a boil (10 minutes if you are using pappardelle).
- 5. Add the basil, butter, pine nuts, and cheese to the pan with the mushrooms and toss well.
- 6. Reserve a cup or so of the pasta's cooking liquid, then drain the pasta and add it to the pan with the mushrooms, asparagus, and sauce. If the sauce seems too dry, stir in a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water. Toss, taste, and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and more pepper flakes if necessary.
- 7. Present the pasta in a bowl and serve family style from the center of the table, or divide among individual plates.
- Your Nightly Specials
- Mushrooms: Instead of using the cremini, use 1 cup dried porcini mushrooms.
- Dried Mushrooms: Dried mushrooms like porcini, morel, and chanterelle offer a quick way to add flavor to cooking and are especially useful in the off season or winter months. Always rinse dried mushrooms under cold running water to remove any lingering dirt and sand, then reconstitute them in hot water for 20 minutes, drain, and strain the liquid. Save the liquid for soups and sauces. Keeping a small packet of dried mushrooms, which costs just a few dollars, in your pantry will five earthy flavor on demand.
- Use a spice grinder to grind dried porcini to a powder. This seasoning powder will very economically make a full pot of risotto taste like a much more costly version, something many restaurants do to make flavors pop. Add 1 tablespoon to the finished mushrooms for a powerful and full flavor at an economical price.
- Porcini Mushrooms: Fresh porcini are among the most delicious of mushrooms. When they are available each fall, by all means use them, although they are expensive and need to be cooked as quickly as possible because they are highly perishable.
- Add 1/2 cup of blanched and shocked fresh or frozen peas, spincach, and/or broccoli buds.
- Toss some shredded, leftover roasted turkey or duck meat into the pan along with the cooked pasta.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender asparagus. Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have brown spots.
- Trim the asparagus spears. Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this by snapping the spears at the point where they naturally break.
- Cook the asparagus quickly. Asparagus is a delicate vegetable that cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it tough and stringy. Sautéing, steaming, or grilling are all good ways to cook asparagus quickly.
- Don't overcook the mushrooms. Mushrooms are also delicate and can be easily overcooked. Cook them until they are tender but still have a little bit of bite to them.
- Use a variety of spices and herbs. Asparagus and mushrooms are both versatile vegetables that can be paired with a variety of flavors. Try using garlic, shallots, thyme, rosemary, or lemon zest to add flavor to your dish.
Conclusion:
Asparagus and mushrooms are a delicious and healthy combination that can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes. This recipe for Asparagus with Mushrooms is a simple and flavorful way to prepare these vegetables. The asparagus is cooked quickly to preserve its鮮嫩, and the mushrooms add a rich, earthy flavor. This dish is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it can also be served as a side dish.
