Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound fresh asparagus, medium thickness
Salt
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 tablespoon minced shallots
1 cup heavy cream
4 ounces smoked salmon sliced 1/4-inch thick
Freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
9 to 10 ounces fresh green fettuccine noodles
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill

Steps:

  • Snap off the ends of the asparagus where they break naturally and peel the stalks. Cut the asparagus on a slant to pieces about an inch long.
  • Steam the asparagus until they are just barely tender and still bright green, about three minutes. Rinse under cold water, drain well on paper towels and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
  • While the water is coming to a boil, melt the butter in a large heavy skillet. Add the shallots and saute until soft but not brown. Stir in the cream and simmer about five minutes, until the cream has thickened somewhat.
  • Cut the salmon into slivers, add it to the cream and remove the skillet from the heat. Season with pepper and lemon juice. Add the asparagus.
  • When the pot of water is boiling, add the fettuccine, stir it once or twice, then cook two to three minutes after the water has returned to a boil. Drain well.
  • Briefly reheat the sauce. Transfer the fettuccine to a warm serving bowl, pour the sauce over it and toss. Sprinkle with dill and serve.

I thought this dish was just okay. The asparagus was a bit overcooked and the sauce was a bit too salty. I think I would have preferred a more delicate sauce and a bit more smoked salmon.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very creamy and the smoked salmon was a bit overpowering. I think I would have preferred a lighter sauce and less smoked salmon.
