handful pre-sliced swiss brown mushrooms

Season water with salt and throw in the linguini, cooking for the time outlined on the packet - usually around 7 mins (this kettle to pot trick is one my mother often uses to speed up a midweek pasta). While the linguini is cooking, heat olive oil in a frypan over medium-high heat and sautee mushrooms, asparagus and garlic for 3 mins. Lower heat to simmer and pour in the cream. Simmer for another 3 minutes then add parsley, salt and pepper and stir well to combine. Then remove from heat. When linguini is cooked, strain the water from the pot and transfer the linguini into the frypan with the cream mixture. Stir the pasta through the sauce till well combined. Flake the hot smoked salmon into small pieces and stir the majority of it through the pasta reserving a few pieces to place on top of the dish after plating. Divide the pasta between two bowls, top with the remaining salmon, add a sprinkle of chopped parsley and enjoy.

PENNE WITH ASPARAGUS AND MUSHROOMS



Penne With Asparagus and Mushrooms image

I love this pasta dish in the summer. It is filling without being too heavy, and fresh asparagus in season is the best. This is not meant to have a heavy sauce, just a light cream that's full of flavor to coat the ingredients. Proscuitto or ham may be substituted for the bacon, but you'll probably need to add a tablespoon of butter to saute the onion and mushrooms.

  • Stir in asparagus, chicken broth, and evaporated milk or cream and bring up to a simmer. Add pasta and stir. Cover and simmer for 3-5 minutes, until the asparagus is crisp-tender, but NOT mushy. Serve immediately sprinkled with parmesan cheese and pepper.

ROASTED SALMON WITH ASPARAGUS, LEMON AND BROWN BUTTER



Roasted Salmon With Asparagus, Lemon and Brown Butter image

Ready in just 15 minutes, this fast dinner combines silky salmon with a vibrant green medley of asparagus and peas. While the fish roasts, the vegetables and sauce come together in one pan on the stovetop. Thinly slicing the asparagus is the trick to maintaining a crisp texture that complements the tender salmon, while bright lemon juice and zingy capers balance the nutty brown butter sauce. Parsley is used here to finish, but dill or tarragon would also be lovely. Leftover vegetables make a fantastic omelet filling the next day.
