CREAMY CHIVE PASTA WITH LEMON
This recipe is a good way to showcase any fresh chives you may have. In the spirit of buttered noodles with chives - or stir-fried lo mein with Chinese chives - this recipe uses the delicate alliums as an ingredient instead of a garnish. Their gentle onion flavor adds freshness to lemon-cream sauce, which is not unlike a delicate sour cream and onion dip. You can use crème fraîche for more tang, heavy cream for an Alfredo vibe, or ricotta for a hint of sweetness. To use another spring allium like ramps, leeks or a combination, thinly slice and simmer in heavy cream (not crème fraîche or ricotta) to soften before adding the other ingredients.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
- In the same pot, make the sauce: Stir together the crème fraîche, 1/2 cup reserved pasta water, Parmesan, lemon zest and juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the pasta, return to medium heat, and cook, tossing vigorously, until the noodles are well coated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add more pasta water as needed to gloss the noodles.
- Add the chives and stir until evenly distributed and slightly wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Eat with more grated Parmesan and black pepper on top.

Steps:
- Steam the asparagus until tender but firm. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, bring four quarts of water to boil for the fettuccine.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the garlic and the shallots and saute for one minute. Add the mushrooms and saute until tender (three to four minutes). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add the asparagus and parsley and keep the mixture warm until the fettuccine is cooked.
- Cook the fettuccine until al dente, drain and transfer to a heated serving bowl. Add the sauce, toss and serve. Pass the cheese separately.
Tips:
- Select the right asparagus: Choose thin to medium-sized asparagus spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips. Avoid thick spears, as they can be tough and fibrous.
- Prepare the asparagus properly: Trim the tough ends of the asparagus and then peel the bottom third of each spear. This will help the asparagus cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the asparagus: Asparagus cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and lose its bright green color.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this recipe, so be sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the asparagus, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the asparagus from cooking evenly.
- Add the lemon juice and chives at the end: The lemon juice and chives are added at the end of cooking to preserve their bright flavor and color.
Conclusion:
This spaghetti with asparagus, shiitake mushrooms, lemon, and chives is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light and flavorful meal. The asparagus and shiitake mushrooms are sautéed until tender, and then combined with spaghetti, lemon juice, and chives. The result is a dish that is both flavorful and visually appealing.
