CREAMY ASPARAGUS PASTA



Creamy Asparagus Pasta image

In this quick pasta dinner, umami-rich seaweed stars twice: first, in the form of dasima (dried kelp), which seasons the pasta water and sauce with seaside savor; second, as gim (roasted seaweed), which lends deep nuttiness and some salty crunch, too. The pasta finishes cooking in a blush of heavy cream and a splash of the dasima broth, transforming into a dreamy emulsion balanced by rice vinegar. In this recipe's final moments, a rich glug of sesame oil glosses the chewy rigatoni and echoes the toasted flavor of the gim, which sings.

Provided by Eric Kim

Categories     weeknight, pastas

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

20 grams gim, often labeled as roasted seaweed
2 (4-inch) squares dasima or kombu (dried kelp)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 pound rigatoni
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 large garlic cloves, finely grated
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1/2 pound asparagus, thinly sliced at an angle
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Fold the gim in half and, with very sharp kitchen shears or a chef's knife, slice into thin strips. Set aside for serving.
  • In a large pot, combine 1 dasima square with 8 cups cold tap water. Bring the water to a boil and season with the kosher salt. Tumble in the pasta and cook for half the time the package tells you is al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta, then add it back to the pot. (Discard the dasima.)
  • Add the remaining dasima square, cream, red onion, garlic, black pepper and reserved pasta water to the pasta. Bring to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Stirring occasionally, cook the pasta until the onion-infused cream has thickened significantly, thinly coating the noodles, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat. Add the vinegar and asparagus, and stir to combine for 1 minute. The residual heat from the pasta will gently cook the asparagus to tender-crisp. Stir in the sesame oil and season with more black pepper, if desired. Divide the pasta among serving dishes, discarding the dasima, and shower with the reserved gim and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Serve immediately, before the gim wilts and turns soggy.

CREAMED ASPARAGUS



Creamed Asparagus image

I made this last Easter instead of creamed spinach to accompany our leg of lamb dinner. It was a major hit, so I'll be making it again this year.

Provided by JoAnn Cambareri

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Asparagus

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound asparagus spears
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ cup beef broth
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
¼ cup whipped cream cheese
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse asparagus under cool water to remove any grit. Snap off the bottom inch or so using your fingers; the stems will naturally break where the tough woody part ends and the tender stem begins. Remove the ends. Dry the spears by rolling them between two kitchen towels. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus, beef broth, and garlic powder. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until asparagus is crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add sliced mushrooms and cook until tender, 3 to 5 minutes more. Reduce heat to low; add cream cheese, yogurt, nutmeg, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cheese is melted and creamy, about 3 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender asparagus for the best flavor and texture.
  • Trim the asparagus by snapping off the woody ends. You can also use a knife to cut off the ends.
  • Cook the asparagus until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked asparagus will become mushy.
  • Use a good quality bread for the toast. A hearty bread, such as sourdough or whole wheat, will stand up to the creamy asparagus.
  • Spread the toast with butter or olive oil before adding the asparagus. This will help to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
  • Season the asparagus with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Garnish the toast with fresh herbs, such as chives, dill, or parsley.

Conclusion:

Creamy asparagus on toast is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. It is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and it is also a great way to use up leftover asparagus. With its creamy sauce, tender asparagus, and hearty bread, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
