As you might have already noticed I’ve been cooking a lot of pasta recently. I don’t really know why, but I kind of felt like I didn’t enough the past months, so I have to catch up a little bit.
I’m still kind of ill, it’s just a cold, but it kind of keeps me from doing big work in the kitchen. So I’m happy about easy dishes, that I can just throw together in a couple of minutes and still have something my suffering body can enjoy in this total agony of cough and snuff. I’m just kidding, but I really need nice food to feel better.
This asparagus and smoked salmon pasta is another great quick weekday dinner dish. It’s easily done in under 20 minutes and still has great and interesting flavor. Fresh asparagus, smoky salmon, zesty lemon, heavy cream and al dente pasta.

Imagine the following situation: It’s Sunday, you’re hungry and you ate almost everything you have for cooking a proper dinner/lunch/whatever. You can’t go buy stuff because all the shops are closed. The only things you have left are some eggs and random vegetables. Why not make a beautiful and delicious frittata?
You can use tomatoes, zucchini, onion, mushrooms, fish, meat, bacon and so much more… It’s perfect! You just whip up eggs with some salt and pepper, fry the filling in an oven proof pan, pour eggs on top of it, sprinkle with some cheese and put it in the oven for 5 minutes. Done.
And you can give it any flavor you want. Isn’t that just fantastic? And the leftovers are even better!

Asparagus Pizza with Sauce Hollandaise. The thing I’ve been talking so much about recently. In my opinion one of those things you start eating and don’t stop until your body just can’t handle it anymore. It’s way too good.
There are two ways of doing this:
First, you can put the hollandaise on your pizza instead of your usual tomato sauce, but i recommend adding some cream to the sauce before, for reducing the risk of it breaking in the heat of the oven.
The second possibility is in my opinion a lot better. You just bake your pizza with a simple tomato sauce, just how you do it usually and top it with a generous spoon (or two) of hollandaise. That way the sauce is still perfect and I think it goes very well with the tomato/cheese/asparagus flavour.
I know, this is probably not the diet-friendliest dish, but you don’t have to make it every other night. Eat it when you’re craving to really feast and you’ll be more than happy about it.
