Wanting a harbinger of spring in the midst of snow, the asparagus that Sprouts has on sale for a ridiculously low 88 cents a pound through Wednesday is completely driving my thinking for the rest of the week. Here's what's on deck.
Tomorrow will be fettuccine with peas, asparagus and pancetta from Bon Appetit. Whole Foods will slice you exactly as much pancetta you'd like (or go with the bacon option), and I've enjoyed this recipe without that touch of cream, as well.
Tuesday will be our reheat of something big made over the weekend, which this week is the curried cauliflower soup from the New York Times' recipes for health. Sprouts has organic spring mix for $3.99 a pound to make the side salad a snap.
We'll get back to that 88 cent asparagus at Sprouts for both Wednesday and Thursday's dinners (noting that the sale only goes through Wednesday), with chicken, asparagus, and broccoli stir fry from Bon Appetit for Wednesday, and asparagus and leek risotto with prosciutto, also from Bon Appetit, for Thursday. As I've mentioned before, Whole Foods, at least at the Pearl Street store, usually has chunks of prosciutto for dicing in this type of cooking at a much lower cost than the freshly sliced paper-thin variety from one of their team members (although they'll slice at any thickness you want for that higher price).
