Yum! Asparagus Carbonara - What a brilliant idea! I am loving this recipe concept. I can’t wait to try it.

“What really shocked me about the recipe was the instruction to cut the blanched asparagus lengthwise into thin strips using a vegetable peeler. The asparagus essentially turn into vegetable fettuccine. Then you toss the asparagus strips with the real fettuccine and they swirl together into a colorful mound. It’s a simple but brilliant technique. That’s the beauty of cooking; it really is an endless education.” (via NYT The Moment)
