Asparagus, said to be a powerful aphrodisiac, is at the height of its ripeness in February. For the added zest of fresh citrus, look for Meyer lemons -- they're in season from November to April.
Serves 6
Ingredients:
1 pound spiral-shaped pasta
1 pound slender asparagus spears, trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon peel
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon, plus more for garnish
1 5-ounce log soft fresh goat cheese
Fresh lemon juice to taste
Directions:
Cook your pasta in a large pot of salted water until it is almost tender, or about three minutes shy of what the package suggests. Add asparagus and cook until firm-tender, about two to three minutes. Drain pasta and asparagus together, reserving one cup of pasta water.
Meanwhile, combine olive oil, lemon peel, tarragon and cheese in a large bowl, breaking up the goat cheese as you add it. Add hot pasta and asparagus to bowl along with a couple splashes of the pasta water. Toss until smoothly combined, adding more pasta water if needed. Season generously with salt and pepper, and lemon juice if you feel it needs a little extra kick.
