Ingredients

  • 8 oz. uncooked linguine
  • 12 oz. fresh asparagus spears, trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
  • 2 medium tomatoes, seeded, chopped
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
  • 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
  • 1/8 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 4 oz. (1 cup) shredded Asiago cheese

Steps

  • 1
    In large saucepan, cook linguine as directed on package, adding asparagus during last 4 to 6 minutes of cooking time. Cook until linguine and asparagus are tender. Drain.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, in large bowl, combine all remaining ingredients except cheese.
  • 3
    Add cooked linguine and asparagus; toss gently to coat. Add cheese; toss to mix.

  • Asiago is a semi-firm Italian cow's milk cheese with a rich, nutty flavor. Young Asiago is eaten as a table cheese. Aged for a year, Asiago becomes a grand grating cheese that's a bit more moist than Parmesan.
  • Like chives, tarragon is a fragile herb best used fresh. One of the classic herbs in the French fines herbs blend, tarragon's slightly licorice aroma pairs well with fish and vegetables.
  • Serve this easy linguine with a crisp French baguette and a mixed herb and baby greens salad.
