How to Make Asparagus Pasta Supreme

1. Cook pasta according to package directions in a large pot of boiling salted water.
2. While pasta cooks, snap off the tough ends of 1 pound asparagus spears.
3. Steam or boil asparagus in lightly salted water until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes).
4. Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium pan over medium heat.
5. Drain the cooked asparagus and cut the spears into 1-inch pieces. Add asparagus to the melted butter in the pan.
6. Season asparagus with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly browned.
7. Drain the cooked pasta, reserving about ½ cup of pasta water. Add the pasta to the pan with the asparagus.
8. 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.
9. Stir in 1 tablespoon of hot olive oil for extra flavor and richness.
10. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of fresh dill, and ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Toss to combine.
11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
