CREAMY FETTUCCINE WITH ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• In a small skillet over medium heat, toast pine nuts, stirring often, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook fettuccine until al dente, according to package instructions, adding asparagus during last 5 minutes of cooking. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water; drain.

FETTUCCINE WITH MORELS

Steps:

• Bring six to eight quarts of water to boil for the fettuccine.
