Recipe - Pasta With Smoked Salmon

1 One half cup Cream, heavy
1 pound Asparagus
6 ounce Salmon, smoked
1 Lemon
Three fourths pound Fettuccine
2 tablespoon Butter
Salt and pepper

In a small saucepan, bring the cream to a boil and let simmer to reduce to
one cup. Break off the ends of the asparagus, cut the spears into pieces
and cook in boiling salted water for about seven minutes or until they are
tender; drain. Cut the salmon into strips. Grate one teaspoon of lemon zest
and squeeze one teaspoon of juice from the lemon.

Cook the pasta in boiling water about 12 minutes or till just done. Return
to the hot pot and toss with the reduced cream, asparagus, smoked salmon,
lemon zest and juice, and butter. Salt to taste and plenty of fresh ground
black pepper. Serve immediately.

If using ricotta cheese and milk instead of the cream, do not reduce it but
mix only the amount the recipe calls for and heat. Pur‚e the ricotta in a
blender and thin with a little milk.
