FARFALLE WITH CREMINI, ASPARAGUS AND WALNUTS
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!

Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp: Opt for medium-sized shrimp (41-50 count per pound) with a vibrant color and no off smell.
- Prep the shrimp well: Devein and peel the shrimp, leaving the tail intact for a beautiful presentation.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Sauté the shrimp in hot oil for a minute or two per side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the shrimp in batches to prevent them from steaming and becoming rubbery.
- Use fresh asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are firm and bright green, with tightly closed tips.
- Trim the asparagus properly: Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus spears, or use a knife to cut them off.
- Cook the asparagus until tender-crisp: Sauté the asparagus in hot oil for a few minutes, or until it turns bright green and slightly tender, but still retains a bit of a bite.
- Add flavor with herbs and spices: Garlic, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, and fresh herbs like parsley or basil can elevate the flavors of the dish.
- Use a good quality pasta: Choose a pasta that will hold its shape well when cooked, such as farfalle (bow-tie pasta) or penne.
- Cook the pasta al dente: Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, but remove it from the pot a minute or two before the recommended cooking time to ensure it remains slightly firm.
Conclusion:
Farfalle with shrimp and asparagus is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its vibrant colors and flavors, this dish is sure to impress your family and friends. By following these tips, you can create a restaurant-quality pasta dish at home that everyone will love.
