ASPARAGUS CASSEROLE



Asparagus Casserole image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Two bunches fresh asparagus
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
Pinch salt
5 ounces Cheddar, grated
4 hard-boiled eggs
1/2 cup saltine cracker crumbs (about 10 crackers)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Add the asparagus to a large pot of boiling water, keeping the bundles together with rubber bands or string. Cook for a couple of minutes; the asparagus should be bright green and still crunchy. List the bundles out of the water and slice off the tough ends of the asparagus. Drop the trimmed ends back in the boiling water and lower to a simmer.
  • Run the asparagus tops under cold water to stop the cooking.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the flour to make a roux. Cook for 1 minute, then whisk in the milk and 1 cup of the asparagus cooking liquid. Add the salt and continue cooking until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Add the grated Cheddar and cook, stirring, until melted, about 1 minute.
  • Arrange the asparagus in the bottom of a 9-by-12-by-2-inch baking dish, alternating the stem ends so each serving includes both heads and stems. Thinly slice the hard-boiled eggs and arrange them over the asparagus. Pour the cheese sauce over the eggs and asparagus and sprinkle with the cracker crumbs. Bake until lightly browned and bubbles appear around the edges, about 20 minutes.

PASTA PRIMAVERA WITH ASPARAGUS AND PEAS



Pasta Primavera With Asparagus and Peas image

This simple pasta primavera uses a combination of the earliest vegetables available in spring - asparagus, peas and spring onions - making it a true celebration of the season. The sauce works best with springy egg pasta, preferably homemade or a good purchased brand. Make sure not to overcook it; you need the chewy bite to stand up to the gently cooked vegetables. If you can't find good fresh English peas, you can substitute frozen peas, but don't add them until the last minute of cooking.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, pastas, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 pound sugar snap peas, stems trimmed
1/2 pound asparagus, ends snapped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup fresh English peas
1/4 cup thinly sliced spring onion, white part only (or use shallot)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, more as needed
Black pepper, more as needed
12 ounces fettuccine or tagliatelle, preferably fresh (see recipe)
2/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, at room temperature
1/2 cup crème fraîche or whole milk Greek yogurt, at room temperature
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped tarragon

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • While the water is coming to a boil, slice snap peas and asparagus stems into 1/4-inch-thick pieces; leave asparagus tips whole.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add snap peas, asparagus, English peas and onion. Cook until vegetables are barely tender (but not too soft or mushy), 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute more. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Drop pasta into boiling water and cook until al dente (1 to 3 minutes for fresh pasta, more for dried pasta). Drain well and transfer pasta to a large bowl. Immediately toss pasta with vegetables, Parmigiano-Reggiano, crème fraîche and herbs. Season generously with salt and pepper, if needed.

PEA AND ASPARAGUS SALAD



Pea and Asparagus Salad image

Instead of making ribbons, thinly slice your asparagus on a strong bias -- this gives the raw vegetable a crisp-tender bite, and it isn't as stringy.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 bunch (8 ounces) asparagus
1 1/2 cups shelled English peas, blanched
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (torn, if large), plus more for serving
1/4 cup chopped toasted almonds, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Trim asparagus. Thinly slice on a strong bias. Toss with peas, mint, almonds, oil, and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, and serve, topped with more mint and almonds.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender asparagus and English peas. Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and have tight tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have woody ends. English peas should be plump and bright green.
  • To blanch the asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the asparagus is bright green and tender. Immediately remove the asparagus from the boiling water and plunge it into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • To cook the English peas, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peas and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the peas are tender but still bright green. Drain the peas and set aside.
  • To make the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk and bring to a simmer. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  • To assemble the casserole, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer the blanched asparagus and cooked English peas in the prepared baking dish. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and top with the grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake the casserole for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown. Serve immediately.

Conclusion:

Asparagus and English pea casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for spring and summer gatherings. The combination of fresh asparagus, tender English peas, and creamy sauce is sure to please everyone at the table.
