Fettucine With Smoked Salmon And Asparagus Recipes

Steps:

• Cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water 8 minutes. Add asparagus and boil until asparagus is crisp-tender and pasta is al dente, about 2 minutes.
• While pasta is cooking, heat cream just to boiling in a 1-quart heavy saucepan, then stir in zest and remove from heat.
• Ladle out 1 cup pasta cooking water and reserve, then drain pasta and asparagus in a colander.
• Toss pasta and asparagus with cream, dill, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup reserved cooking water in a large bowl (or in pasta pot). If pasta looks dry, moisten with some of remaining water. Add salmon and toss well.

Steps:

• Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, 7 minutes (or 2 minutes less than package instructions). Add asparagus and continue to cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add peas and continue to cook until cooked through, about 1 minute more. Drain pasta, asparagus, and peas together, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid.
• Transfer pasta and vegetables to a large bowl. Add butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 1/2 tsp. pepper, and remaining 3/4 tsp. salt. Toss, adding reserved pasta cooking liquid bit by bit as needed, until a smooth sauce coats pasta (you might not need all the liquid).
• Divide pasta among bowls. Top with salmon, basil, and remaining 1/2 cup sour cream. Season with lots of pepper.

Steps:

• Trim asparagus and diagonally cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Finely chop shallots. Finely grate enough lemon zest to measure 1 1/2 teaspoons and squeeze enough juice to measure 3 tablespoons. Cut salmon into 2 x 1/2-inch strips.
• Fill a 6-quart pasta pot three fourths full with salted water and bring to a boil for asparagus and pasta. Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water.
• Cook asparagus in boiling water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes, and with a slotted spoon transfer to ice water to stop cooking. Reserve water in pot over low heat, covered. Drain asparagus and set aside some asparagus tips for garnish.
• In a deep 12-inch heavy skillet cook shallots in butter with salt and pepper to taste over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in cream and zest and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice and remove skillet from heat. Return water in pot to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until al dente and ladle out and reserve 1 cup pasta water. Drain pasta in a colander and add to sauce with asparagus, 1/2 cup pasta water, three fourths salmon, remaining tablespoon lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Heat mixture over low heat, gently tossing (and adding more remaining pasta water as needed if mixture becomes dry), until just heated through.
• Serve pasta garnished with reserved asparagus tips and remaining salmon.

Steps:

• Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package instructions. Add asparagus to pot for last 3 minutes of pasta-cooking time.
• While asparagus is boiling, heat cream, horseradish, and dill in a large skillet over moderate heat just until hot, about 1 minute. Drain pasta and asparagus and add to cream mixture, tossing. Gently toss in salmon and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Snap ends off asparagus. Slant-cut spears in 1-inch lengths. Steam until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Rinse under cold water, pat dry on paper towels and set aside. Cut salmon in slivers and set aside.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Melt butter in a large, heavy skillet. Add shallots and sauté over low heat until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in cream, increase heat and simmer about 5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Add salmon and remove from heat. Season with pepper and lemon juice. Stir in asparagus.
• Boil fettuccine 2 to 3 minutes, until just tender. Drain, but allow a bit of moisture to cling to noodles. Transfer to a warm shallow serving dish. Reheat sauce to a simmer, check seasonings, fold in dill and pour over fettuccine. Serve at once, mixing ingredients with pasta as you serve. Top each portion, if desired, with heaping teaspoon of salmon caviar.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salty water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta. While it cooks, combine in a large serving bowl the yogurt, salmon, garlic, lemon zest and juice, arugula and dill. Just before the pasta is finished cooking, scoop out 1/2 cup pasta water and reserve.
• Drain the pasta and slide it into the bowl. Using two spoons, toss the pasta and sauce as you would a salad. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water. Season to taste with salt and grind a generous amount of pepper on top.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
• Cut off tough ends of asparagus spears. Cut each on the bias into 1-inch lengths. There should be about 1 1/2 cups. Rinse well and drain.
• Add the asparagus to the boiling water and cook about 2 minutes. Remove asparagus with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Drop the fettuccine into salted boiling water. Let cook to desired degree of doneness (cooking time will range from about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes for fresh pasta to 9 minutes or more for dried). Reserve 2 tablespoons cooking water. Drain the pasta.
• Heat the butter in the pot in which the pasta was cooked. Add the asparagus pieces and the fettuccine. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add the reserved 2 tablespoons of cooking water and basil. Toss to blend. Serve hot with Parmesan cheese on the side.

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook fettuccine according to package instructions. Add asparagus for last 2 minutes of cooking time. Drain, reserving 1 1/2 cups cooking water. Return pasta and asparagus to pot.
• Meanwhile, in large non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add leeks and cook until tender, 8 - 10 minutes.
• Add reserved pasta water, cream cheese, tarragon, and chives, and stir until cream cheese is melted. Pour over pasta, ad smoke salmon and toss until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, but not browned. Add the smoked salmon and continue cooking just until the salmon turns opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the cream and add the capers. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Be careful how much salt you add because the smoked salmon and capers are both salty. Add the pasta and toss to coat. If there doesn't appear to be enough sauce, add a couple of tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to thin it down. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until almost tender, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Add asparagus and cook until pasta is tender but still firm to bite, about 3 minutes longer. Drain. Transfer to large bowl.
• Meanwhile, stir cream, 1 tablespoon butter, and lemon peel in heavy small saucepan over medium-high heat until mixture comes to simmer. Reduce heat to low. Whisk in 2 tablespoons cheese. Cook until sauce is smooth and thickens slightly, stirring constantly, about 1 minute.
• Add sauce to pasta and asparagus and toss to coat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, 2 tablespoons cheese, and lemon juice; toss again to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide pasta mixture between 2 warm bowls. Spoon salmon caviar atop pasta. Sprinkle with chives and serve.

Steps:

• Snap off the ends of the asparagus where they break naturally and peel the stalks. Cut the asparagus on a slant to pieces about an inch long.
• Steam the asparagus until they are just barely tender and still bright green, about three minutes. Rinse under cold water, drain well on paper towels and set aside.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
• While the water is coming to a boil, melt the butter in a large heavy skillet. Add the shallots and saute until soft but not brown. Stir in the cream and simmer about five minutes, until the cream has thickened somewhat.
• Cut the salmon into slivers, add it to the cream and remove the skillet from the heat. Season with pepper and lemon juice. Add the asparagus.
• When the pot of water is boiling, add the fettuccine, stir it once or twice, then cook two to three minutes after the water has returned to a boil. Drain well.
• Briefly reheat the sauce. Transfer the fettuccine to a warm serving bowl, pour the sauce over it and toss. Sprinkle with dill and serve.
