Categories     Vegetable     Sauté     Vegetarian

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound dried fettucini
1 pound fresh thick asparagus stalks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons light olive oil
1 medium Vidalia or other sweet onion, cut into vertical slivers
1 tablespoon dry Sherry wine
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 ounces Gorgonzola dolce, crumbled
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a large pan of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions for al dente. Meanwhile, trim asparagus of the tough and woody portions, and cut the remaining into 2-inch diagonal slices. In a 10-inch skillet bring 2 cups of salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook 2 minutes, uncovered, or until crisp-tender and a bright fresh green. Drain and refresh in cold water to stop the cooking. Drain again, and transfer to paper towels to drain further. Set aside. Dry the skillet, place over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Add onion and saute until tender but not browned, about 3 minutes. Add sherry and cook another minute to cook off alcohol. Add the cream and the cheese, and stir over medium heat until cream is hot and the cheese has melted. Add asparagus, toss again, taste and add salt and pepper if needed, but remember the cheese is salty. Heat for a minute, then sprinkle with minced parsley, toss again and serve.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauce turned out grainy. I think I might have overcooked it. The flavor was still good, but the texture was a bit off.

This recipe was missing something. I think it needed more garlic or some other kind of herb. The flavor was a bit bland.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The gorgonzola sauce was very heavy and the pine nuts were a bit too crunchy. I think I would have preferred a lighter sauce, such as a pesto or a simple butter sauce.

I'm not a huge fan of gorgonzola, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I'm glad I did! The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the asparagus was cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again, but I might use a different cheese next time

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. The sauce is simple to make and the dish comes together quickly. I served it with a side salad and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out great! The asparagus was still slightly crunchy, the gorgonzola sauce was rich and creamy, and the pine nuts added a nice nutty flavor.

I was skeptical about the gorgonzola at first, but it ended up being the star of the show! It added a wonderfully tangy and creamy element to the sauce, balancing out the sweetness of the asparagus perfectly. Will definitely be making this again.
