Despite its appearance, this dish couldn’t be simpler. This faux pasta only requires a vegetable peeler and a microwave (yes, a microwave) to get the job done. Simply create thin ribbons of white asparagus (green is fine, too) and steam 30 seconds, then dress with fresh lemon juice, lemon zest and nutty argan oil. Don’t have that precious bottle just lying around? Primo olive oil or another nut oil will taste delicious, too. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with quality Gruyere cheese. Get the recipe for this fast, fancy weeknight meal here.
