Asparagus & Pasta




Source of Recipe


Daily Recipe


List of Ingredients




1/2 cup pine nuts
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1/2 pound asparagus, cut diagonally into 1-ich pieces
1 pound bowtie pasta
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
Zest and juice of one fresh lemon
Salt and freshly-ground black pepper


Recipe



Lightly toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium
heat until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer
the nuts to a small bowl and set aside. Reheat the skillet
with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add
the garlic and asparagus, and cook until the asparagus is
slightly tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Cook the pasta in a
large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally,
until it is al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. When the pasta
is cooked, drain it and place it in a large serving bowl
with the asparagus and pine nuts. Add the remaining olive
oil, the dill, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Season with salt
and pepper to taste and toss gently to combine. Serve
immediately.
