ONE-POT SPRING PASTA WITH SMOKED SALMON



One-Pot Spring Pasta with Smoked Salmon image

Adding asparagus and frozen peas directly to the boiling pasta during the last couple minutes of cooking means everything for this seasonal, fresh dinner can be made in one pot. Smoked salmon adds a nice, rich saltiness (and extra protein!) without any extra work for the cook-just drape the slices over each bowl before serving.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 oz. linguine or other long pasta
3/4 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
1 bunch asparagus (about 1 lb.), trimmed, cut into 1"-1½" pieces
1 (10-oz.) bag frozen peas
4 Tbsp. cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 Tbsp. finely grated lemon zest

6 oz. smoked salmon, sliced into ½" strips
1 cup basil leaves

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).
