Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains

Number Of Ingredients 9

Coarse salt
1 pound asparagus, trimmed
1 pound fettuccine
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots, (about 2 shallots)
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt. Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Blanch asparagus until just tender, about 3 minutes. Immediately transfer with tongs to ice-water bath to stop the cooking (keep the water at a boil). Drain.
  • Add pasta to pot; cook until just al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water; drain.
  • Meanwhile, shave asparagus stalks (not including tips) into long ribbons with a vegetable peeler; transfer ribbons and tips to a medium bowl as you work.
  • Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add shallots; cook, stirring, until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add cream, 1/4 cup reserved cooking water, and asparagus.
  • Bring to a boil; add pasta. Cook, tossing, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add more cooking water if pasta seems dry. Stir in zest and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my liking. I think I would have preferred less red pepper flakes. Other than that, the dish was delicious. The asparagus ribbons were tender and flavorful, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the asparagus ribbons were a bit too oily. I think I would have preferred a lighter sauce or a different cooking method for the asparagus.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have preferred more garlic or Parmesan cheese. Other than that, the dish was well-executed and the asparagus ribbons were a nice touch.
