1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 pound fresh morels (available seasonally at specialty produce markets and some supermarkets), washed well, patted dry, and trimmed

Fresh morel mushrooms are a springtime delicacy. Their earthy perfume marries well with that of spring vegetables, especially asparagus. Other flavorful mushrooms, such as chanterelles, shiitakes or portobellos, can be substituted. Recipe courtesy of Williams-Sonoma

Yield -

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds asparagus
1/3 cup extra-virgin oil, plus more for drizzling
1 large, sweet white onion, such as Vidalia, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 pound fresh morel mushrooms, quartered
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
Leaves from 5 large fresh thyme springs, coarsely chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
1 pound fresh fettuccine
1/2 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
Handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • 1 Asparagus, White Onion, Morel Mushrooms, Chicken Stock, Thyme, Lemon, Fettuccine, Pine Nuts, Parsley, Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese. 2 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the asparagus and cook for 1 minute. Using a large skimmer, transfer the asparagus to a colander, reserving the cooking water. Run cold water over the asparagus to preserve its bright green color and to stop the cooking. Drain the asparagus and set aside. 3 In a large fry pan over medium heat, warm the 1/3 cup olive oil. Add the onion and sauté until soft and just starting to turn golden, about 5 minutes. 4 Add the garlic, morels and asparagus, season with salt and pepper and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the stock and simmer until the vegetables are tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the thyme and lemon juice and mix well. 5 Meanwhile, return the reserved asparagus-cooking water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until al dente (tender but firm to the bite), about 3 minutes. Drain well and add to the fry pan. 6 Add the pine nuts and parsley and toss briefly to blend all the ingredients. Taste and adjust the seasonings, and add a drizzle of olive oil. 7 Transfer the pasta to a warmed large, shallow bowl and sprinkle about 3 tablespoons of the cheese over the top. Pass the remaining cheese at the table. Serve immediately.

In this recipe, which is quicker to prepare than traditional lasagna, you get the rich, sweet goodness of tomatoes, the heat of chile, and the earthy vegetable heft of mushrooms and asparagus-a beautiful medley of flavor contrasts.

Provided by Jeffrey Saad

Categories     main-dish

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 pounds wild or morel mushrooms, or mushrooms of your choice
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of chile flakes
1/2 cup shallots, finely chopped
16 asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 lasagna sheets
12 ounces Taleggio or triple cream cow's milk cheese of your choice
2 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup fresh basil, shredded

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse off the mushrooms and pat dry. Cut off the thickest part of the stems and discard. Cut the mushrooms into 1-inch pieces, roughly halves or quarters, depending on the size of the mushrooms.
  • 2. In a large, wide skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the mushrooms, salt, pepper, and chile flakes. Stir to coat the mushrooms evenly with the olive oil. Saute until the mushrooms become golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the shallots and asparagus, stir, and cook until the mushrooms are deep golden and the asparagus is tender but firm, about 8 more minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more, just to bring out the flavor of the garlic but not to brown it.
  • 3. Add the white wine and simmer until reduced by half. Turn off the heat and set aside. Stir in the butter until melted and fully incorporated.
  • 4. While the mushrooms are cooking, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, cook the lasagna according to the package instructions. Once the pasta is cooked to al dente, pull it out of the water and drain (do not rinse). Rub with a touch of olive oil to prevent sticking and set 1 sheet of pasta on each of four plates.
  • 5. Divide the Taleggio and Parmesan evenly across the pasta. Spoon the mushroom-asparagus mixture over the cheeses. The heat will partially melt the cheeses. Shower the basil on top of each plate. Drizzle a touch of extra virgin olive oil and a touch more Parmesan over each. Serve.
