Pasta with Spring Asparagus and Smoked Salmon From Vicki Delany & Eva Gates

This is just beautiful for a spring dinner, and it really couldn't be easier. The full recipe makes four servings. I cut it in half which made enough for my dinner and then a light lunch the next day. 



Pasta with Spring Asparagus and Smoked Salmon 

Ingredients:

1 lb asparagus

 4 cups penne pasta

1 cup chopped smoked salmon (8 oz/250 g)

 1/4 cup minced fresh dill

1/4 cup minced parsley

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons prepared horseradish

1/4 cup light sour cream

1/4 cup ricotta cheese

Directions:

Snap off woody ends of asparagus; cut stalks into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Set aside.

In large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta for 7 minutes. Add asparagus and cook until pasta is tender but firm, about 2 minutes. Reserving 1 cup (250 mL) of the cooking liquid, drain and return pasta mixture to pot.

Add reserved cooking liquid, salmon, ricotta, dill, oil and horseradish; toss to combine. Garnish each serving with sour cream.
