Preparation

What You Need

1 lb (450 g) veal cutlets or

scaloppine, cut into thin strips

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tbsp (30 ml) butter

2 oz (60 g) sliced prosciutto, cut into thin strips

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/3 cup (80 ml) dry white wine

1 1/2 cups (375 ml) 35 % whipping cream

12 oz (375 g) linguine or

fettucine

2 cups (500 ml) chopped asparagus

Grated zest of 2 lemons

2 tbsp (30 ml) chopped fresh sage

Instructions

Sprinkle veal with 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper. In a large skillet, melt half of the butter over medium-high heat; brown veal strips, in 3 batches; transfer to a bowl.

Add remaining butter to skillet. Add prosciutto and garlic; sauté for about 1 min. Deglaze with wine; scraping up any bits stuck to pan. Stir in cream; bring to boil. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and boil gently, stirring often, for about 3 min or until slightly thickened.

Meanwhile, in a large pot, cook pasta according to directions on package. Stir in asparagus and cook for 2 min before the end of cooking or until pasta is al dente but firm and asparagus is tender-crisp. Drain and return to pot.

Return veal to skillet with any accumulated juices; add lemon zest and sage. Cook, stirring, just until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour over cooked pasta; toss to coat.

Tips

Cooking Tip: Heat the pan well before adding butter and cook the veal in small batches to keep it moist and tender. If fresh sage isn't available, use 1 tsp (5 mL) dried sage and add with prosciutto.

A crisp green salad and crusty bread complete the meal.
