Fettuccine with Asparagus, Morels, and Tarragon image

Categories     Cheese     Duck     Herb     Mushroom     Onion     Pasta     Vegetable     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     High Fiber     Spring     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces fresh morel mushrooms, halved if large, or 1 ounce dried morels
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup (packed) sliced shallots
1 pound asparagus, trimmed, cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths
1 1/4 cups vegetable broth (if using fresh morels)
2/3 cup whipping cream
2 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon, divided
12 ounces fettuccine
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Steps:

  • If using dried morels, place in 2-cup measuring cup and pour enough hot water over to reach 2-cup mark. Let soak until soft, pushing down occasionally if morels rise to top, about 20 minutes. Drain, reserving soaking liquid; add enough water to measure 1 1/4 cups if needed. Cut large morels in half.
  • Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and fresh or reconstituted morels; sauté until shallots are tender, about 6 minutes. Add asparagus and 1 1/4 cups broth (if using fresh morels) or reserved soaking liquid (if using dried morels). Bring to boil, cover, and cook 2 minutes. Stir in cream and 2 tablespoons chopped tarragon. Simmer uncovered until sauce thickens slightly, about 4 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta and return to pot. Add 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and sauce; toss. Transfer to bowl; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 tablespoon tarragon. Serve with remaining Parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Prep Ingredients Beforehand: Before you start cooking, measure and prep all the ingredients. This will help the cooking process go more smoothly.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible. This includes the shiitake mushrooms, asparagus, and fettuccine pasta.
  • Don't Overcook the Noodles: Fettuccine noodles should be cooked al dente, meaning they should be slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked noodles will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Sear the Shiitake Mushrooms: Searing the shiitake mushrooms in a little bit of oil will help to enhance their flavor and give them a slightly crispy texture.
  • Use a Good Quality Parmesan Cheese: The Parmesan cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Use a high-quality, freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best results.
  • Season to Taste: Always taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder to suit your taste.

This easy-to-follow recipe for fettuccine with shiitakes and asparagus is a delicious and satisfying meal that's perfect for any occasion.
