ASPARAGUS SPAGHETTI



Asparagus Spaghetti image

Lots of asparagus is grown not too far from our h me. Each spring, when it's being harvested, I'll make several trips to the fields. I put about 40 lbs. in the freezer...with what's left, we gorge ourselves on fried asparagus, beef and asparagus, scalloped asparagus, etc.! It's no problem feeding my husband (he's retired; we have two grown children and four grandsons). He'll eat almost anything I put in front of him. We like this dish with a salad and dessert. It's so easy to prepare-it takes only about half an hour from start to serving.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH ASPARAGUS, RICOTTA, LEMON & THYME RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Spaghetti Squash with Asparagus, Ricotta, Lemon & Thyme Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by á-81356

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small spaghetti squash, about 1 1/2 pounds
Olive oil
1 pound asparagus
1 medium lemon
3/4 cup ricotta
1 clove garlic, unpeeled
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, from 4 to 5 sprigs
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Carefully cut the squash in half, scrape out the seeds, and brush with olive oil. Place cut-side down on a baking tray and place in the oven to roast for about 35 minutes. Meanwhile, prep the asparagus by snapping off the woody ends and slicing the stalks on a diagonal into 2-inch pieces. Combine the lemon zest, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, thyme leaves, and ricotta in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and several grinds of the pepper mill. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more lemon juice, salt, and pepper as needed. Set aside. After the squash has roasted for about 35 to 40 minutes, add the asparagus to the tray and tuck the clove of garlic beneath one of the squash halves. Return the tray to the oven and roast another 10 minutes, until the asparagus is bright green and starting to char in places and when the squash is easily pierced with a fork. Take the baking tray from the oven and carefully remove the garlic clove from beneath the squash. It should be a little soft from its time in the oven. Snip off one end and squeeze the garlic from the peel into the ricotta and mix well. Transfer the asparagus to the bowl with the ricotta. Let the squash cool for another 5 minutes. Pull a fork through the flesh to separate and remove the strands from the shell. Add to bowl with ricotta mixture. Mix squash, asparagus, and ricotta mixture, season to taste with salt and pepper, and spoon into a serving dish.

Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green, firm, and have tight tips.
  • Trim the asparagus properly: Snap off the tough, woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can also use a knife to cut them off.
  • Cook the asparagus quickly: Asparagus cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Blanching or sautéing are good cooking methods for asparagus.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to cook and enjoy asparagus. Try roasting it, grilling it, or adding it to salads, soups, and stir-fries.
  • Serve asparagus immediately: Asparagus is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to store it, place it in a container with a little water and refrigerate it for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Asparagus is a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be used to create a variety of tasty dishes. With its high nutritional value and unique flavor, asparagus is a great addition to any healthy diet.
