Penne With Asparagus, Smoked Salmon And Dill Recipe

ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 red onion, cut into thin lengthwise slices
1 bunch asparagus, rinsed, trimmed, diagonally cut into 1- to 1.5-inch lengths
3 ounces smoked salmon, cut into 1.5 x .25 inch strips
freshly ground black pepper
16 ounces penne pasta, or other tubular pasta
2 tablespoons snipped fresh dill

directions

Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and cook, stirring, over low heat until tender; about 5 minutes. Do not brown. Add the asparagus and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Add the salmon to the skillet and stir to blend. Sprinkle with pepper to taste.

Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling, salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente, or firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain. Return the pasta to the pot. Add the asparagus mixture and the dill. Toss to blend.

Spoon into a large serving bowl and serve at once.
