How to Make It
Step 1
To make gremolata: Combine chopped parsley, lemon zest, and diced garlic in a small bowl; set aside.
Step 2
Cook pasta in a large saucepan according to package directions. When 3 minutes of cooking time remains, add the asparagus; finish cooking. Drain in a colander; rinse with cold water.
Step 3
Heat the same saucepan over medium heat; add cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Add pasta mixture to pan; toss to coat. Increase heat to medium-high; bring cream to a boil. Cook until almost all of the cream is absorbed (about 3 minutes), stirring constantly. Add half of gremolata to pan; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Step 4
Transfer to serving bowls; top with remaining gremolata. Serve immediately.

I really enjoyed this recipe. I loved the lemon flavor which blended well with the papardelle; I also really liked the gremolata mixture/sauce. I would recommend using a larger saucepan than usual as I had some difficulty stirring this in the saucepan when I added all of the ingredients but other than that I will absolutely be making this again :)

This is a very easy to make dish with a terrific lemon zing. Would make often. Nice and light. Better than the dill pasta dish in the same issue by a long shot.
