Pappardelle with Asparagus and Lemon

A fresh take on Vicki Sebastiani’s late summer pasta dish. The pappardelle is complemented by light, bright seasonal asparagus and herbs with a hint of lemon zest to finish.

Ingredients You’ll Need

1 bunch of pencil-thin asparagus
trimmed and thinly sliced on the diagonal

1/2 pound pappardelle pasta
or fettuccine

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
about 2 lemons

3 cloves of garlic
finely chopped

2 tablespoons dry white wine

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup butter

2 tablespoons minced lemon zest

2 tablespoons minced parsley
plus more for garnish

Instructions
  1. Blanch sliced asparagus in boiling water, lightly salted, for 2 minutes or until tender but still firm. Immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water, or under cold water. Drain, cover and set cooked asparagus aside.
  2. Cook pasta in large pot of boiled salted water until al dente (barely tender), about 10-12 minutes.
  3. While pasta is cooking, combine lemon juice and white wine in a small non­ stick pan and sauté over medium-heat until reduced to 2-3 tablespoons. Add salt and butter and reduce. Remove from the heat and stir in one tablespoon of lemon zest. Cover and keep warm until the pasta is cooked.
  4. When pasta is cooked, drain and return to the pot. Add asparagus pieces, lemon cream sauce and minced parsley. Toss gently to combine. Transfer to serving platter or pasta dishes. Garnish with remaining tablespoon of lemon zest and serve.
