2 cloves garlic, minced (green part removed)

Provided by Ming Tsai

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 to 4 ounces of butter
2 sliced white onions
2 cloves of garlic, sliced
2 cups of water
2 cups asparagus, top part only from naturally breaking. (Save 8 spears for garnish, blanched, shocked, tossed in lemon juice, salt and pepper)
1 cup spinach leaves
1/2 tablespoon white truffle oil
Salt and white pepper to taste
1 golf ball size black truffle, sliced (very optional)

Steps:

  • In a hot saute pan, add 1 tablespoon of oil and saute garlic. Add mushrooms and mix carefully. Season with salt and pepper. Deglaze with wine and reduce until nearly dry. Check for seasoning and lay mushrooms on a tray to cool completely. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and cream. Mix in cooled mushrooms and scallions. Spray 4 large ramekins with cooking spray and fill 4/5. Place in hot bain marie (boiling water up half way) and bake in oven at 300 degrees for 25 minutes or until set.
  • In a 1 quart casserole, add 1 tablespoon butter and sweat onions and garlic until soft. Add water and season well. Add the asparagus and cook for only 3 to 5 minutes until soft. Add the spinach and take the casserole off of the heat. (It is imperative that this water tastes salty so that when the asparagus and spinach are added, they maintain their green color.) Immediately buzz the sauce with a hand blender and add the butter. Check for seasoning. Add the truffle oil and keep warm in a water bath.
  • PLATING
  • In a large pasta bowl, ladle in the asparagus sauce. Place one custard in the middle and garnish with asparagus spears, truffle oil and fresh truffle slices.

FARFALLE WITH CREMINI, ASPARAGUS AND WALNUTS



Farfalle With Cremini, Asparagus and Walnuts image

I saw this on "Everyday Italian" yesterday and really wanted to try it, mainly because I love both mushrooms and asparagus, and have been wanting a recipe to use up some of the mascarpone cheese in our fridge! I liked it a lot, and my husband loved it. I preferred mine without walnuts, so you may want to serve these on the side. It is so quick to make that it's sure to become a regular at our house! Keep in mind, however, that this is a very mild pasta, most likely very different from what you're used to!

FARFALLE WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH, MUSHROOMS AND SPINACH



Farfalle with Butternut Squash, Mushrooms and Spinach image

"To celebrate my birthday, my husband took me to Assaggio, one of my favorite restaurants here," writes Christy Wall of Portland, Oregon. "As I always do, I ordered the bow-tie pasta with wild mushrooms, butternut squash, spinach, garlic and olive oil."

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, cut into 3/4-inch pieces (about 5 cups)
1/2 cup water
8 ounces small portobello mushrooms (portobellini), gills scraped, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup whipping cream
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pound farfalle (bow-tie) pasta
1 10-ounce bag spinach leaves
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add butternut squash and sauté until beginning to brown, about 6 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water, cover and cook until just tender, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer sautéed squash to bowl.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to same skillet over medium-high heat. Add all mushrooms, garlic and rosemary and sauté until tender, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Add white wine and bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Remove from heat. Stir in whipping cream and nutmeg.
  • Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking water. Return pasta to pot. Add squash, mushroom sauce, spinach and Parmesan cheese. Toss over medium heat until spinach wilts, pasta is heated through and sauce coats pasta, adding reserved cooking water by 1/4 cupfuls if pasta is dry. Season with salt and pepper; serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Look for asparagus that is bright green and firm, and wild mushrooms that are meaty and have a rich aroma.
  • Don't overcook the asparagus. It should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
  • Use a variety of wild mushrooms for a more complex flavor. Some good options include shiitake, oyster, and chanterelle mushrooms.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. This recipe is a great starting point, but you can easily customize it to your own taste.
  • If you can't find farfalle pasta, you can use another type of short pasta, such as penne or rigatoni.

Conclusion:

This farfalle with asparagus and wild mushrooms is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be ready in under 30 minutes. The combination of fresh asparagus, wild mushrooms, and creamy sauce is sure to please everyone at the table.
