Asparagus Linguine with Cream Sauce
Ingredients
  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 pint light cream
  • 1 pound linguine pasta
  • 1 lemon, juiced
Instructions
1
Boil a medium-sized pot of water until it reaches its rolling point. Prepare the asparagus by submerging it in boiling water, where it will remain until it has achieved a vibrant green color and a slight firmness to the touch, approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove from water.
2
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat until it reaches its melting point. Sauté the asparagus and garlic in hot, melted butter for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Introduce cream into the mixture and allow it to simmer for 10 minutes.
3
Separately, bring a large pot of water to its boiling point. Cook linguine in the boiling water until it reaches an optimal level of tenderness, yet still retains some firmness when bitten into, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain the linguine and transfer it to a serving dish.

Meanwhile, stir lemon juice into the asparagus mixture. Then, pour this mixture over the hot linguine, combining the two for a complete dish.
