Lots of asparagus is grown not too far from our h me. Each spring, when it's being harvested, I'll make several trips to the fields. I put about 40 lbs. in the freezer...with what's left, we gorge ourselves on fried asparagus, beef and asparagus, scalloped asparagus, etc.! It's no problem feeding my husband (he's retired; we have two grown children and four grandsons). He'll eat almost anything I put in front of him. We like this dish with a salad and dessert. It's so easy to prepareĀit takes only about half an hour from start to serving. Ingredients:
2 pounds fresh asparagus, sliced diagonally into 1-inch pieces |
1 pound very thin spaghetti |
8 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces |
1/2 cup sliced green onion |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
1/4 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup half-and-half cream |
1/2 to 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook asparagus in boiling salted water 3 minutes. Drain and set aside. cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and return to kettle to keep warm. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove to a paper towel. In bacon drippings, saute onion until soft. Add asparagus and pepper; heat through. Quickly toss together spaghetti, asparagus mixture, bacon, butter, cream and cheese. Serve immediately. Yield: 6-8 servings.
