ASPARAGUS SPAGHETTI
Lots of asparagus is grown not too far from our h me. Each spring, when it's being harvested, I'll make several trips to the fields. I put about 40 lbs. in the freezer...with what's left, we gorge ourselves on fried asparagus, beef and asparagus, scalloped asparagus, etc.! It's no problem feeding my husband (he's retired; we have two grown children and four grandsons). He'll eat almost anything I put in front of him. We like this dish with a salad and dessert. It's so easy to prepare-it takes only about half an hour from start to serving.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain, reserving some pasta water.
- While spaghetti is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Flip, add a dollop of pesto to each breast, and continue to cook, flipping as needed, until no longer pink in the centers, 7 to 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CREAMY CHIVE PASTA WITH LEMON
This recipe is a good way to showcase any fresh chives you may have. In the spirit of buttered noodles with chives - or stir-fried lo mein with Chinese chives - this recipe uses the delicate alliums as an ingredient instead of a garnish. Their gentle onion flavor adds freshness to lemon-cream sauce, which is not unlike a delicate sour cream and onion dip. You can use crème fraîche for more tang, heavy cream for an Alfredo vibe, or ricotta for a hint of sweetness. To use another spring allium like ramps, leeks or a combination, thinly slice and simmer in heavy cream (not crème fraîche or ricotta) to soften before adding the other ingredients.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
- In the same pot, make the sauce: Stir together the crème fraîche, 1/2 cup reserved pasta water, Parmesan, lemon zest and juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the pasta, return to medium heat, and cook, tossing vigorously, until the noodles are well coated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add more pasta water as needed to gloss the noodles.
- Add the chives and stir until evenly distributed and slightly wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Eat with more grated Parmesan and black pepper on top.

Steps:
- Steam the asparagus until tender but firm. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, bring four quarts of water to boil for the fettuccine.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the garlic and the shallots and saute for one minute. Add the mushrooms and saute until tender (three to four minutes). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add the asparagus and parsley and keep the mixture warm until the fettuccine is cooked.
- Cook the fettuccine until al dente, drain and transfer to a heated serving bowl. Add the sauce, toss and serve. Pass the cheese separately.
Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are firm, straight, and have tight tips. Avoid spears that are wilted, limp, or have woody ends.
- Trim the asparagus properly: Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus spears. You can also use a knife to cut off the bottom inch or two of each spear.
- Cook the asparagus quickly: Asparagus cooks quickly, so don't overcook it. Blanching or steaming the asparagus for a few minutes is a good way to preserve its鮮脆crispness and flavor.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, and basil, can add a lot of flavor to spaghetti with asparagus. Add them to the dish just before serving for the best flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make spaghetti with asparagus. You can add other vegetables, such as mushrooms, peas, or zucchini. You can also use different types of pasta, such as linguine or fettuccine.
Conclusion:
Spaghetti with asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light meal or a special occasion.
