Recipe: Spring Vegetable Pasta
Serves 4-6
We love a recipe that calls for ingredients that can be easily found at the market. This spring vegetable pasta is mainly made up of farmers market produce, herbs, and even olive oil. Plus, its quick to cook and assemble on a busy weekday!
Ingredients
1 pound thin asparagus
3/4 pounds mushrooms (morel, cremini, oyster, or a mixture)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 pound spring onions (or scallions or baby leeks), trimmed and sliced
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup vegetable broth
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
8 ounces dry pappardelle or fettuccine
1 tablespoon chopped chervil or flat-leaf parsley
Instructions
- Cut off tough ends of asparagus and slice crosswise into two-inch pieces. Trim tough stems from mushrooms.
- Heat oil in a 12-inch sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add onions and cook 1 to 2 minutes, until softened. Add asparagus and saute 2 minutes.
- Add wine and simmer until liquid has evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Add butter and toss until melted into vegetables. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook pasta until al dente. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
- Mix in the sauce and chervil. Season with additional salt and pepper, and serve.
