| Spaghetti with Asparagus, Smoked Mozzarella and Prosciutto Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis Show: Everyday Italian Episode: Family Favorites Overall User Rating:  |
New Years for new parents

I saw Giada's show and was attracted to this recipe for the ease and for the fact that Giada said it was a great romantic dinner. Since my husband and I are new parents, our "alone" time has a very small window lately. I decided to make this romantic dinner on New years eve and it was a hit with my husband. It was a different taste for him as he usually incorporates all the ingredients in a meal so everything is consistent, every bite tastes the same. He liked this meal because as he said, "it was a complicated taste", each bite was different. Thanks FOOD TV for a great new years eve dinner for a couple that needed some alone time.
Excellent!

I love this recipe using penne pasta. Even my husband who claims to hate asparagus loved it. I recently made a non-italian version following the same recipe but substituting bowties for the pasta, leftover honeybaked ham instead of prosciutto, and frozen peas for the asparagus. I used shredded havarti cheese instead of the smoked mozarella, and it melted beautifully. It was a great way to use up leftover holiday ham. It's anothter one of Giada's great recipe's that you can substitute with.

I cannot rave enough about this wonderful recipe, would give it 10 stars if I could. The flavors all blend together to make it truly spectacular, I think it is the basil that really makes the dish. My fussy 16 year old told me it was as good a dish as Mrs Cline would make (Mrs Cline being the mother of her best friend). Of course I called her friend's mom & passed on the compliment, along with the recipe.

This one sounded like such an easy dinner, and it was. Unfortunately, it nothing held together. It had too much asparagus which all seemed to pill up together in one place. I would not recommend this one unless you LOVE asparagus.

This is a light pasta dish that is very flavorful. The prosciutto gives it a nice salty flavor and combines nicely with the mozzarella and asparagus. I don't light smoked cheeses so I use regular mozz and it works out great.
Wonderful

This is a dish we make over and over. I did, however, replace smoked fresh mozzarella with already grated cheese. We found that the fresh moz clumped and did not melt very well. The flavors blend together like we hadn't expected, someone previously described it as complicated!

Both my husband and I loved this pasta dish. I omitted a lot of the salt called for in the recipe the first time I tried it because just reading through the recipe, it sounded like it was too much. It was perfectly fine without that extra salt. The pasta is salted, the asparagus is boiled in salted water, and the prosciutto and the cheese are salty, so that's definitely enough. I will definitely make this one often.

This recipe tastes like Italy! I think that too often people tend to overload on the sauce and it masks what you're eating. This recipe is perfect... all fresh ingredients, tons of flavor and easy to make! Instead of spaghetti, I used fresh egg tagliatelle, which reminds me more of the authentic homemade pastas used in Italian cafes.

Wow...this one is a keeper! I watched Giada make this on her show while I followed along in her new cookbook, which actually called for ziti instead of spaghetti. I dug through my pantry and found the PERFECT compromise: tubini pasta. It is obviously thicker than spaghetti, but it's thinner than ziti and still has a tubular shape to catch all the delicious sauce from this dish. I was fortunate enough to find delicious baby asparagus in the market the day I prepared this and it was PERFECT! Even my kids loved this dish, and they are NOT asparagus eaters. I'm sure this dish converted them, Giada. Thanks a million! Love your show!! :)

I normally don't try new recipes out on guests without trying them at least once. However, I couldn't resist this delicous, flavorful dish. So I used some close friends as my test subjects. I was pleasently pleased to find out that it was a hit. I was so pleased at the ease and of this dish. The flavor was wonderful. The smoked mozzerella was a wonderful touch, it blended the flavors of the asparagus and prosciutto together perfectly. I recommend this dish if you don't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen prior to your guests arriving. This is perfect for week night enterntaining.

I tried this recipe out because I'm a huge fan of pasta and asparagus, and thought that anything with smoked cheese in it couldn't be bad, but I was surprised at how delicious this was! In fact, I couldn't believe I made it myself! My 10 year old stepson Aiden even went home and raved to his mother about how good it was, and when you can a 10 year old to eat asparagus, you KNOW it's got to be good! Try it, you'll love it!!

This looks like it is so much more complicated than it is - especially with the smoked mozzarella starts metling and binding everything together(which makes all the difference). At the risk of sounding like a Food Network host, this is great any night of the week for you or family, and it's equally appropriate for fancy company.

This is a nice fresh, healthy dish. I loved the crunch of the asparagus within; this is great for asparagus fans! I did only give it 4 stars bc/ something was missing in flavor. It had a wonderfully fresh flavor, but just wasn't as spicy/rich in flavor as I would have liked and something was missing (may add more garlic, seasonings next time).

Oh My Goodness, this was simple to make and a good dish to socialize with friends over while whipping it up. Prep your ingredients before guests arrive and then just sip your wine and mix up the wonderful gooey taste sensation! Serve with Italian Bread and olive oil and you have a meal...enough asparagus that you don't need a salad! I went by the book using the smoked mozzarella and proscuitto and it was fabulous. Everyone ate seconds...my husband had thirds so make sure and double up on the recipe. Yummy Yummy Yummy! Good Job Giada!!!!

The first time I made this, my husband absolutely loved it! This is now one of our favorite dishes. It's simple to make and DELICIOUS! I've substituted pancetta for prosciutto several times and it tastes just as great.
So Good!

Not sure if you need smoked mozzarella but used it anyway. Due to the cost of it, I'd probably be content with regular mozzarella. Dish was great!

This turned out really good. Might be better to shred the mozerella because it has a tough time melting.

This is a keeper. It's easy, fast and tasty. It took about 15 minutes of prep time (cutting the mozarella, basil, asparagus, proscuitto and garlic) and another 15-20 mins for boiling the asparagus and spaghetti. The flavors all compliment each other nicely. Goes great with garlic bread, salad.

All the simple ingredients in this recipe worked really well together. One slight change I would do for my next time is that I would wait for the dish to be slightly cooler. The mozarella, when thrown in too soon, melted in clumps with each other and did not distribute evenly throughout the dish. Otherwise, this was a simple but excellent dish that is both very good eaten on a weeknight or served with guests.
Simple, yet delicious!

I will concede that, with a different brand of smoked mozzarella, this might have been a decent recipe. However, the smoke flavor was so intense as to make this absolutely inedible. I do plan to try it again...with regular mozzarella and smoked turkey. That should bring the smoked experience back within acceptable limits.
Superb

I made the dish vegetarian by substituting chopped sun-dried tomatoes (oil packed) for the prosciutto. I used the tomato oil to saute the garlic, asparagus & tomatoes, then tossed with fusilli (that's what was in the pantry), smoked mozzarella and fresh basil. Serve it with some nice crusty bread and a big green salad! YUMMY! My husband didn't even notice the missing meat!
Very Good!!!

This has become one of our perennial favorites. It's perfect every time. Even my huband, who rarely cooks, likes to make this one. It's just so quick and easy, not to mention idiot-proof.

We loved this recipe but I roasted my asparagus instead of boiling it and it gave the dish a fantastic flavor. I also used half smoked mozzarella and half fresh mozzarella. The dish had a nice mildly smoky flavor and the fresh mozzarella gave it a creamy texture. I felt that all smoky mozzarella would be too strong.
Wonderful!

This was one of the worst recipes I've ever made. I couldn't eat it and threw it out. The ingredients didn't work together. The smokiness of the mozzarella and the prosciutto were overwhelming and the cheese congealed in small balls at the bottom of the pasta dish. All of the individual elements are delicious but nothing kept this together for me. Really awful.
