What did you have for dinner II?

Not sure if this is in the Tennessee stores or not but a great buy. I bought it over here right outside of Asheville ..Same price as a single fifth you can buy the gift set!44DB4AD4-702C-48A4-98D8-DBEAEBAE15AD.jpeg

So, I kept looking for a recipe for ham and asparagus and something something that wasn’t too something, and couldn’t find anything I liked. So @Tin Man, this is truly an Exie “salad.”

I don’t know what to call it other than sauteed ham, mushrooms, and celery in a white wine/ shallot sauce over farfalle (bow tie pasta) and asparagus.

Ingredients were pretty much ^that^ including a flour/butter roux base for the sauce plus fresh thyme, a little chicken stock, and carrot shavings added at the last minute. I sliced the asparagus up into 1” chunks and added the thickest chunks, then the next thickest etc. one batch at a time to the pasta water, starting three minutes before it was done, adding the tips last and immediately draining the pasta+asparagus.

Next time I’ll make the sauce a tiny bit thicker and back off the wine. I’ll also remember to grate the Parmesan. 🤪

Anyway, it was a nice break from the heavy-duty turkey tet.

Exie Salad. Drink the wine that doesn’t go into the sauce, and you’ll be fine.
