Steps:
- Snap off the ends of the asparagus where they break naturally and peel the stalks. Cut the asparagus on a slant to pieces about an inch long.
- Steam the asparagus until they are just barely tender and still bright green, about three minutes. Rinse under cold water, drain well on paper towels and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
- While the water is coming to a boil, melt the butter in a large heavy skillet. Add the shallots and saute until soft but not brown. Stir in the cream and simmer about five minutes, until the cream has thickened somewhat.
- Cut the salmon into slivers, add it to the cream and remove the skillet from the heat. Season with pepper and lemon juice. Add the asparagus.
- When the pot of water is boiling, add the fettuccine, stir it once or twice, then cook two to three minutes after the water has returned to a boil. Drain well.
- Briefly reheat the sauce. Transfer the fettuccine to a warm serving bowl, pour the sauce over it and toss. Sprinkle with dill and serve.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a pan, then fry the spring onions for 1 minute, until softened. Add the wine and boil hard to reduce to about 2 tbsp. Stir in the crème fraîche, season well and add the nutmeg. Bring to the boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in the dill, if using, and squeeze in a little lemon juice. Set aside.
- Blanch the shelled broad beans in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes. Drain into a sieve and hold under running cold water to cool. Drain again and peel off the outer hard skin - make a nick in the tops and pop the beans out.
- Trim the asparagus - if it's young, it won't need much cut off the stems. Cut into halves or thirds. Cook the pasta in salted boiling water as per pack instructions, adding the asparagus 3 minutes before the end of cooking time. Cook until "al dente".
- Drain well, reserving a little pasta water. Toss the hot pasta and asparagus with the drained broad beans, smoked salmon and sauce, loosening with a spoonful or two of pasta water, if necessary. The heat of the pasta should reheat the sauce and slightly cook the smoked salmon, but stir over a gentle heat to warm through if necessary. Serve immediately.

Dry sauce mix combines with asparagus and salmon to make a dish that will impress your friends--and you don't have to tell them how easy it is! Mezzi rigatoni is my favorite kind of pasta to use with this one, but ziti, penne, and other hearty pasta cuts will work just as well. Serve with Parmesan cheese.

PENNE WITH ASPARAGUS AND SMOKED SALMON CREAM
What speaks more of spring than asparagus? Velvety textures of cream and the smoked salmon are well balanced with crisp-tender asparagus and the freshness of lemon zest. This is a creamy flavorful dish that I've created on my own after trying some less than exciting versions from other cook books and magazines. I hope you enjoy!

Tips:
- Use fresh asparagus. Fresh asparagus will have bright green tips and firm stalks. Avoid asparagus that is wilted or has brown spots.
- Cook the asparagus properly. Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, roasting, and grilling. The best way to cook asparagus for this recipe is to blanch it. Blanching involves boiling the asparagus for a short period of time, then immediately transferring it to an ice bath. This stops the cooking process and preserves the asparagus's鮮豔的綠色and crisp texture.
- Use high-quality smoked salmon. Smoked salmon is the star of this dish, so it's important to use a good-quality product. Look for smoked salmon that is firm and has a deep, smoky flavor.
- Don't overcook the pasta. Pasta should be cooked al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
- Serve the dish immediately. Fettuccine with asparagus and smoked salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Fettuccine with asparagus and smoked salmon is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your pasta al dente or a little more well-done, or you prefer a light or heavy sauce, this recipe can be adjusted to suit your needs.
