Cooking Steps
1
- Boil plenty of water in a large pot or saucepan for the asparagus.
- Cut off 2cm from the base of the asparagus and discard, then peel the asparagus but leave the tips intact.
- Cut the asparagus spears into fifths.
- Boil for 7 - 10 minutes or until done (see Tip).
Tip: the cooking time depends on how thick the asparagus is. Check it and boil for more or less time as needed.
2
- Finely chop the parsley and grate the Parmigiano Reggiano in the meantime.
- When the asparagus is done, remove it from the pan and set aside.
- Reserve 100ml cooking liquid per person, then add a pinch of salt to the pan and bring back up to the boil.
- Cook the mafaldine for 7 - 9 minutes, then reserve some of the pasta water before draining and setting aside.
3
- Melt the butter in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat, then whisk in the flour.
- Whisk in a third of the reserved cooking liquid from the asparagus.
- Repeat twice more with the rest of the cooking liquid so as to make a smooth sauce. Bring to the boil and allow to reduce for 1 - 2 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, then stir in the cream cheese, the asparagus and half of the Parmigiano Reggiano.
4
- Add the mafaldine to the sauce, along with some pasta water as needed. Toss well to combine, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve the creamy mafaldine on plates and top with the hot smoked salmon flakes.
- Garnish with the parsley and the rest of the Parmigiano Reggiano.
