PASTA WITH ASPARAGUS AND PROSCIUTTO



Pasta with Asparagus and Prosciutto image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt
1/2 cup diced prosciutto (about 3 1/2 ounces)
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1/2 cup dry white wine
Freshly ground pepper
1 cup heavy cream
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
12 ounces fettuccine
1 1/2 pounds asparagus, tough ends trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for topping

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the prosciutto in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it renders some fat and begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and cook until the garlic just begins to soften, about 30 seconds. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the wine. Return to the heat and cook until the wine evaporates slightly, about 2 more minutes. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Add the cream and nutmeg and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 more minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook as the label directs, adding the asparagus during the last minute of cooking. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and asparagus.
  • Add the cheese to the cream sauce and stir to combine. Add the pasta and asparagus and toss to coat, adding some of the reserved cooking water to loosen, if needed. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and top with more cheese.

Provided by Aida Mollenkamp

Categories     main-dish

Time 14m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound orecchiette or penne pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 ounces prosciutto, cut into 2-inch strips
12 ounces asparagus, trimmed and sliced thinly on bias (about 2 cups)
3/4 cup Spinach-Ricotta Dip, recipe follows
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
3 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 (10-ounce) package frozen spinach, thawed
1/2 cup fresh ricotta
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil over high heat. When it boils, add pasta and cook as indicated on box.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. When it shimmers, add prosciutto and cook, stirring occasionally, until prosciutto is crisp, about 5 minutes. Add asparagus and toss to coat evenly. Let cook until asparagus just starts to get browned on the edges, about 3 minutes.

Drain pasta and return to pot (off heat), add remaining reserved pasta cooking water, asparagus, Spinach-Ricotta Dip, and stir until thoroughly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning, as desired. Serve immediately.

Transfer onion mixture to a food processor fitted with a blade, add in remaining ingredients, and process until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning, as necessary.
