How to Make Asparagus Pasta Supreme
- Cook pasta according to package directions in a large pot of boiling salted water.
- While pasta cooks, snap off the tough ends of 1 pound asparagus spears.
- Steam or boil asparagus in lightly salted water until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes).
- Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium pan over medium heat.
- Drain the cooked asparagus and cut the spears into 1-inch pieces. Add asparagus to the melted butter in the pan.
- Season asparagus with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly browned.
- Drain the cooked pasta, reserving about ½ cup of pasta water. Add the pasta to the pan with the asparagus.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of fromage frais (or substitute with crème fraîche or sour cream) until well combined. Add a splash of pasta water if needed to create a creamy sauce.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of hot olive oil for extra flavor and richness.
- Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of fresh dill, and ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Toss to combine.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
