ASPARAGUS LINGUINE
I learnt this technique for cooking asparagus from one of the nonnas I met at the market in Rome. By frying, then adding a little liquid and reducing to a low temperature, you ensure the flavours combine beautifully. Creating emulsification at the very end gives a perfect sauce that's as much about flavour as it is texture.

Steps:
- Cook the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions.
- Meanwhile, snap off and discard the woody ends of the asparagus, then finely slice the spears at an angle, leaving the tips whole.
- Peel and finely slice the garlic, crumble up the dried chillies, and place both in a large frying pan on a medium heat with 2 tablespoons of oil and the butter. When the garlic starts to sizzle, stir in the asparagus. Let it start to fry, then add a spoonful of pasta water, cover, and leave to simmer on a low heat until the pasta is al dente.
- Using tongs, drag the pasta straight into the asparagus pan, letting a little starchy cooking water go with it. Turn the heat off, then finely grate in the pecorino and toss together until the fat, cheese and liquid make a natural creamy sauce - loosen with a little extra cooking water, if needed.
- Taste and season to perfection, then divide between your plates. Finish with a grating of pecorino and a little lemon zest, to taste.

THE BEST ASPARAGUS LEMON PASTA
I came across this at Epicurious and fell in love, and its been elsewhere. Years of looking for the lemon pasta I remembered as a child, and finally found it. Tweaked it a little to my own taste, replacing parsley with fresh basil and using linguine. If you don't have tender asparagus, the europes best frozen ones are far better than woody fresh ones. Do NOT substitute lighter creams, it just does not work that well.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Asparagus: Select asparagus spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have woody ends.
- Prepare Asparagus Properly: Trim the tough ends of the asparagus spears and peel the lower third of the spears if desired. You can also cut the spears into smaller pieces for easier cooking.
- Don't Overcook the Asparagus: Asparagus cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked asparagus becomes mushy and loses its鮮豔色彩。 Aim for a tender-crisp texture.
- Use Quality Ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh asparagus, flavorful tomatoes, and a good quality pasta will make a big difference in the final dish.
- Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more salt, pepper, or Parmesan cheese if desired.
Conclusion:
Linguine with asparagus is a simple yet delicious pasta dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With its vibrant colors and fresh flavors, this dish is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a light and flavorful pasta dish, give this recipe a try.
