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.

Tips:

  • Prepare ingredients in advance: Chop vegetables, measure spices, and cook the turkey ahead of time to save time during assembly.
  • Use fresh asparagus: Look for bright green spears that snap when you bend them. If you can't find fresh asparagus, frozen or canned asparagus can be substituted.
  • Don't overcook the asparagus: Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Overcooked asparagus will become mushy.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: Parmesan, Asiago, or Romano cheese will add a delicious flavor to the pasta. If you don't have hard cheese, you can substitute grated mozzarella or cheddar cheese.
  • Serve immediately: This pasta dish is best served immediately after it is made. The asparagus will start to lose its鮮度 if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Asparagus Turkey Pasta Toss is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor.
