THE BEST ASPARAGUS LEMON PASTA



The Best Asparagus Lemon Pasta image

I came across this at Epicurious and fell in love, and its been elsewhere. Years of looking for the lemon pasta I remembered as a child, and finally found it. Tweaked it a little to my own taste, replacing parsley with fresh basil and using linguine. If you don't have tender asparagus, the europes best frozen ones are far better than woody fresh ones. Do NOT substitute lighter creams, it just does not work that well.

Pasta with Asparagus-Lemon Sauce image

Provided by Faith Heller Willinger

Categories     Citrus     Pasta     Quick & Easy     Parmesan     Asparagus     Spring     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb fresh asparagus, tough ends trimmed
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 lb penne or pasta of choice
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • Cut asparagus into 1-inch pieces, reserving tips separately. Cook asparagus stems in 5 to 6 quarts boiling water with 2 tablespoons salt until very tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a colander, reserving cooking water in pot, and rinse under cold water. Drain asparagus well and transfer to a food processor or blender.
  • Cook asparagus tips in same boiling water until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer with slotted spoon to colander, reserving boiling water in pot, and rinse under cold water. Drain tips well.
  • Purée asparagus stems with zest, oil, and 1/2 cup asparagus cooking water. Transfer sauce to a 4-quart saucepan.
  • Cook pasta in boiling asparagus cooking water until it still offers considerable resistance to the tooth, around three fourths of the recommended cooking time. Reserve 2 cups cooking water and drain pasta.
  • Add pasta, asparagus tips, and 1/2 cup reserved water to asparagus sauce and cook over high heat, stirring, 3 to 5 minutes, or until pasta is almost al dente and sauce coats pasta. Add more cooking water, 1/4 cup at a time, until sauce coats pasta but is a little loose (the cheese will thicken it slightly).
  • Stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano and salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring, until cheese is melted.
  • Serve immediately.

LEMONY PASTA WITH ASPARAGUS AND WHITE BEANS



Lemony Pasta With Asparagus and White Beans image

Marinating canned white beans in lemon juice and zest, along with red-pepper flakes and shallots, imbues them with brightness and a touch of heat, adding so much flavor to this warm-weather pasta. It's dead simple to make: While the pasta cooks and the beans marinate, sauté the asparagus in olive oil, then use that pan to finish the dish. There's enough asparagus in the mix to make this a one-pan meal, but serving it with a crisp green salad on the side will add a little crunch and freshness.

Categories     dinner, noodles, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large lemon, plus more fresh lemon juice for serving
1 (15-ounce) can white beans, rinsed
1 shallot, finely diced, or 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
3 garlic cloves (2 thinly sliced, 1 finely grated)
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more to taste
Kosher salt
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound short pasta, such as campanelle, fusilli or farfalle
2 bunches asparagus (about 2 pounds), ends trimmed, stalks sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
2/3 cup coarsely chopped Italian parsley leaves
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Grate the zest from the lemon into a small bowl. Halve the lemon and squeeze the juice from half of it on top of the zest. Add the white beans, shallot or onion, grated garlic, red-pepper flakes and a large pinch of salt and toss well. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon olive oil and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until just shy of al dente, usually 2 minutes less than the package directs.
  • Meanwhile, heat a 12-inch sauté pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, then add the asparagus. Sauté until the asparagus is tender and starting to brown at the edges, 7 to 10 minutes. Add a big pinch of salt and the sliced garlic and sauté until the garlic is lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
  • Dip a coffee mug or glass measuring cup into the pasta water and scoop out about 1/2 cup of it to use for the sauce. Drain pasta, shaking it well. Add pasta, bean mixture, parsley and Parmesan to sauté pan and cook until the beans are hot and the pasta is al dente. If the mixture looks dry, splash in some (or all) of the reserved pasta water. Squeeze remaining lemon half over pasta, toss and taste. Season with pepper; add more salt, red-pepper flakes and lemon juice, if desired.
