Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 bunches asparagus (2 pounds), tough ends removed
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
12 ounces cavatappi or other short pasta shape
5 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled
2 to 3 tablespoons snipped fresh chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Place asparagus on a large rimmed baking sheet; dot with 2 tablespoons butter, and season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender, tossing occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cut into 2-inch lengths.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil; add a generous amount of salt. Cook pasta until al dente according to package instructions. Reserve 1 1/2 cups pasta water; drain pasta, and return to the pot.
  • In a bowl, combine goat cheese, remaining 3 tablespoons butter, and 1/2 cup reserved pasta water. Season with salt and pepper, and whisk until smooth.
  • Add goat-cheese mixture and asparagus to pot; toss with pasta to combine, adding enough additional pasta water to create a thin sauce to coat pasta. To serve, divide among shallow bowls, and garnish with chives.

This dish was a complete disaster! The pasta was overcooked and the asparagus was burnt. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The asparagus was a bit too tough for my liking. I would have roasted it for a few minutes less.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would have liked more garlic and lemon.

I'm not a huge fan of goat cheese, but I loved it in this dish. It added a subtle tanginess that really complemented the other flavors.
