Pasta with asparagus and leeks

4 servings

Quantity Ingredient
2 tablespoons Olive oil
2 Leeks; white, light green parts only, cleaned, chopped
Fine
1 pounds Asparagus; trimmed, and
Cut into 1 1/2\" lengths
1½ cup Chicken stock
2 tablespoons Finely-chopped parsley
Salt; to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper; to taste
1 pounds Fresh or dried linguine

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and saute for 5 to 7 minutes, or until softened and golden brown. Add the asparagus and the chicken stock, cover, and steam for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the asparagus is crisp-tender. Add the parsley, salt, and pepper, and set aside. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook over high heat until al dente, about 3 minutes for fresh and 6 for dried. Drain and place in a warmed serving bowl. Add the vegetables to the pasta and toss to combine. Taste for seasoning. Serve immediately.

This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
