PASTA QUEST DAY...week 4...DAY 21

5-28-11



Penne with asparagus and smoked salmon

INGREDIENTS:

Pasta
Olive oil, shallots, garlic, celery
Fennel fronds, chopped
Asparagus, cut into 1-2 inch pieces
Smoked Salmon
Red pepper flakes
White wine, butter
Lemon juice

PROCESS:

Cook the shallots and garlic in olive oil. When soft, discard the garlic and add the asparagus, red pepper flakes, and butter. Cook for several minutes before adding a splash of white wine and juice from half a lemon.

Add the cooked pasta, mix, and add the rest of the lemon juice. Add the smoke salmon, mix, and drizzle w olive oil. Dust with the chopped fennel fonds and serve.

COMMENTS:

It is difficult to improve on olive oil and lemon juice. The smoked salmon and the fennel add a delightful touch to this dish.

I'm not going to rate this dish because I don't think I have any more credibility with my rating. Everything is a nine or ten.
