Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving, optional
3 large egg yolks
1 pound jumbo asparagus
8 ounces fettuccine
6 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Mix the Parmesan, egg yolks, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of black pepper together in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus stalks. Use a vegetable peeler to shave the asparagus into thin wide ribbons. (The last strip of asparagus will be a little thicker than the others, but it is fine to use.) Set aside.
  • Cook the fettuccine in the boiling water according to the package instructions for al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain off all but 2 tablespoons bacon fat from the skillet. Add the crushed red pepper flakes and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium low, add the drained pasta and asparagus and toss until well coated and mixed with the bacon.
  • Whisk 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water into the egg mixture, then quickly pour it over the pasta and toss to gently cook the eggs and make a creamy sauce. Thin out the mixture with more pasta water as needed, 1 tablespoon at a time. Divide among 4 bowls and garnish with the parsley and more Parmesan if desired.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup walnuts
1 1/2 cups (packed) chopped beet greens (from 1 bunch beets)
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 cup (packed) parsley leaves
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, divided
Kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
Olive oil
2/3 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
4 large eggs
3/4 pound fettuccine
1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), trimmed, shaved lengthwise into ribbons with a vegetable peeler

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium and toast walnuts, shaking pan often, until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate or bowl and let cool; reserve skillet.
  • Pulse cooled walnuts, beet greens, garlic, parsley, lemon zest, 2 tsp. lemon juice, 3/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a food processor until finely chopped. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in 3/4 cup oil until a thick sauce forms. Add 2/3 cup Parmesan and pulse until well combined. You should have about 1 1/2 cups pesto.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a very low simmer. The water should register 180°F on an instant-read thermometer. Set a large bowl of ice water near your work station. Crack eggs into 4 ramekins or small bowls. Transfer 1 egg to a fine-mesh strainer set over a medium bowl to drain slightly (this will help remove extra egg whites and give the poached eggs a more compact shape). Carefully lower egg in strainer into hot water until egg is completely submerged. Gently shake strainer and carefully shape egg with a slotted spoon until edges of egg white start to turn opaque, 30-60 seconds. Carefully release egg from strainer into water with slotted spoon. Cook egg, turning and shaping occasionally with slotted spoon, until egg white is opaque and firm and yolk is plump and jiggles slightly to the touch, 3-3 1/2 minutes more. Transfer egg using a slotted spoon to the ice bath. As the first egg cooks, repeat steps to poach remaining 3 eggs, but keep an eye on which egg went in first. Use a timer to avoid overcooking.
  • Bring the pot of water to a boil and cook fettuccine, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Using tongs or a spider, transfer pasta to a colander to drain. Reserve pasta cooking liquid in pot and set aside 1 cup liquid for the pasta sauce.
  • Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in reserved skillet over medium-high. Add asparagus and sauté until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup pesto and 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid; gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Add fettuccine and simmer, tossing occasionally, until well combined. If sauce is too loose, continue to simmer; if it's too thick, add more pasta cooking liquid to loosen and stir vigorously to combine. Season with 1/2 tsp. salt, remaining 1 tsp. lemon juice, and remaining 1/4 tsp. pepper.
  • Meanwhile, return the pot of water to a very low simmer. Transfer eggs from ice bath to pot to reheat until warm, 30-60 seconds. Remove eggs using a slotted spoon and place on a plate rubbed with a little olive oil. Divide pasta among 4 plates and top with poached eggs and Parmesan.
  • Do Ahead
  • Pesto can be made and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh asparagus, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and high-quality olive oil.
  • Cook the asparagus ribbons until they are tender-crisp: This will help them retain their vibrant green color and flavor.
  • Don't overcook the fettuccine: It should be cooked al dente, which means it should be slightly firm to the bite.
  • Reserve some of the pasta cooking water: This will help to create a creamy sauce when you add it to the pan with the asparagus and fettuccine.
  • Season the dish to taste: Add salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for a bit of brightness.

Conclusion:

Fettuccine with Asparagus Ribbons is a delicious and easy-to-make pasta dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is light and flavorful, and it can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you are a fan of asparagus or simply looking for a new pasta recipe to try, this dish is sure to please.
