Penne With Asparagus and Smoked Salmon Cream image

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!

I've never made a cream sauce before, but this recipe made it easy. The sauce was smooth and creamy and it paired perfectly with the asparagus and smoked salmon.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover smoked salmon. I always have a few slices in the fridge and this is a great way to turn them into a delicious meal.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more salt and pepper.

I had a hard time finding smoked salmon at my local grocery store. I ended up using lox instead, and it worked out just fine.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the smoked salmon was overpowering. I think I would prefer a lighter sauce next time.
