Steps:
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, 4-5 minutes.
- Add the asparagus, ¼ teaspoon salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring frequently so the shallots don't burn, for about 5 minutes or until tender-crisp. Add the peas and honey and cook about one minute more until the peas are warmed through. Add more salt and pepper to taste (I usually add about ⅛ teaspoon more salt and a few twists of pepper) and serve.

This is a wonderful side dish from "What To Have For Dinner" by Martha Stewart. Fast, easy and delicious. We enjoy this with lamb chops especially -- but excellent with a variety of main dishes.

SAUTEED ASPARAGUS AND SNAP PEAS
SO simple, so yummy, so quick! I like to cook the veggies almost underdone so they are tender, yet still very crunchy. Because of so few ingredients, you must use good quality olive oil. Believe me, I skimp on fancy schmancy ingredients elsewhere when I cook, but for this, bring out that good bottle!

30-MINUTE PEA AND ASPARAGUS SOUP
From the Reader's Digest 30-Minute Cookbook. I chose to try making this recipe because of the tantalizing photo in the book, and it was every bit as good as the picture promised -- but the BEST thing about it is, there's no pre-prep prep! Anything that gets chopped or measured can be done during cooking time. If you have a hand blender, this is easy-peasy stuff. Before preparing your other ingredients, it's best to start the stock heating first, so it boils as soon as possible. That's what makes this such a quick and easy recipe.

Steps:
- Pour the stock into a 2 qt/2 L pot and set on the stove over high heat. (If you work quickly, cover the pot to boil even quicker.) Rinse the green onions, trim and chop them roughly, add them to the stock with the frozen peas, and bring to a boil.
- Rinse the asparagus spears, remove the tips and set aside. Roughly chop the stems (you can use the whole stem as it's all going to be pureed) and add them to the saucepan with a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer 10-15 minutes, or until asparagus is tender.
- Meanwhile, snip the bacon slices directly into a hot frying pan and fry until crisp and golden. Transfer these to a plate and set aside for garnish.
- If there is not enough bacon fat left in the pan for frying, add 1-2 tablespoons of oil and heat. Cut the bread into small dice and fry for 2-3 minutes over high heat, turning frequently, until golden, then set aside to drain on kitchen paper (paper towel) for garnish.
- When the peas and asparagus are done, blend or process the soup to a puree. You can use a hand blender to blend the soup right in the pot. Just be sure to keep it pointing down and keep the entire head of the blender under the surface of the soup (to avoid spraying yourself with hot green liquid!).
- Add the reserved asparagus tips to the pea soup and simmer for 5 minutes, or until tender.
- Pour the soup into warmed serving bowls. Swirl a little whipped cream into each (we set a round of goat cheese on the surface of the soup, so it melted in a bit) and sprinkle with the crispy bacon pieces, croutons, and some freshly ground black pepper to serve.

ASPARAGUS, GREEN PEA, AND SCALLION SAUCE
Steps:
- Rinse the asparagus, snap off the tough bottom stub of each spear (and save; see the recipe that follows). Slice each spear crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces; if the spear is fatter than 1/2 inch, slice it lengthwise in half or quarters. You want the asparagus pieces to be approximately pea-size. Slice the spears to make 4 cupfuls.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the oil into the skillet, set over medium-high heat, and stir in the onions. After a minute or two, when the onions are gently sizzling, stir in the leek pieces and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Cook for a minute, drop the peperoncino into a hot spot to toast briefly, then stir and cook until the leeks are hot and starting to wilt, 3 minutes or so.
- Dump in the green peas and stir with the other vegetables. Cover the pan, lower the heat, and let the vegetables cook, sizzling gently. Shake the pan frequently, uncover it occasionally, and adjust the heat as needed to make sure the onions aren't in danger of burning.
- After 6 minutes or more, when the onions are pale gold and the peas are softening, stir in the asparagus pieces and the scallions, then the butter and another 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pour in 1/3 cup of water, and stir well to moisten everything.
- Bring the sauce to a slow simmer and keep it cooking, very slowly, over low heat, for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally, and add spoonfuls of water to the sauce if it seems to be getting dry. The vegetables should become very soft but still retain their shape and identity the sauce as a whole should be moist and thick. When it's reached this stage, turn off the heat, and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the shredded mint leaves.
- Use right away or let it cool. The sauce can be refrigerated for several days. If frozen, the texture will change but the flavor will be fine it will keep for several weeks.
- Good With . . .
- Both dry and fresh pastas
- Gnocchi
- As a topping for polenta
- As a base for risotto

SAUTEED ASPARAGUS AND SNAP PEAS
Steps:
- Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus and slice the stalks diagonally into 2-inch pieces. Snap off the stem ends of the snap peas and pull the string down the length of the vegetable.
- Warm the olive oil in a large saute pan over a medium heat and add the asparagus and snap peas. Add the salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, to taste, if desired. Cook for approximately 5 to10 minutes until al dente, tossing occasionally. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve hot.
