Pro Tip

Shocking the pasta (putting it in cold water) stops the cooking process and will let your pasta stay at al dente. If you do not shock your pasta in cold water your pasta will continue to cook leaving it overcooked when you finish the dish.

Directions

1. Cook your pasta in a large salted pot as instructed from package to al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup Pasta Water. Drain pasta and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside
2. Make the Crème Fraiche Sauce: Whish together the crème Fraiche, lemon zest, mustard, grated garlic, whole milk, lemon juice, and salt to taste till fully incorporated. Set aside.
3. Add your carrot, onion, and pepper to the pan and saute over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add your sliced asparagus stems along with your tomatoes and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Add the zucchini and broccoli continuing for an additional 5 minutes. Add the garlic and herbs incorporating everything for one last minute. Season with Salt and Pepper.
4. Add the wine with the asparagus tops covering the pan to steam for 2-3 minutes on low heat until the wine has evaporated.
5. Remove the lid. Add your cooked pasta along with reserved pasta water stirring to combine. Once combined add half of your Parmigiano Reggiano and continue to stir.
6. Remove from the heat and slowly drizzle the crème Fraiche sauce into the pan stirring consistently.
7. Add your remaining Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and garnish with Parsely and lemon zest.
