1 bunch of fresh dill

2 cloves fresh garlic

1 pound haricot verts (or fresh green beans)

Juice from 1 lemon (about 2-3 Tablespoons)

1 Tablespoon mascarpone cheese (can also use Greek yogurt)

3 Tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1/3 cup pecans

6 slices of prosciutto

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1 1/2 pounds small Yukon gold potatoes

Equipment:

pot

frying pan

slotted spoon

food processor

bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

Bring a 5 qt pot (or larger) of water to boil. Trim tough ends off of asparagus and cut the stalks into 1-inch pieces. Trim ends from beans and cut into 1-inch pieces as well. Half or quarter potatoes to make roughly 1-inch pieces. Chop the 2 cloves of garlic.Place the oil in a large, deep saute pan and bring to medium-high heat. Put the asparagus in the boiling water. Blanch for 1-2 minutes or until the asparagus is bright green and just barely beginning to soften. Transfer asparagus with a spider or a slotted spoon (shaking off excess water) and transfer to the saute pan. Place beans in the boiling water and do the same, allowing them to blanch for 1-2 minutes and then transferring them to the saute pan with the asparagus. Add potatoes to the water and boil for 8-10 minutes or until fork-tender. Meanwhile, stir green vegetables occasionally and cook until the largest asparagus pieces are tender. Add chopped garlic and cook for 1-2 more minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit while you prepare the pesto.To make the pesto, put all of the pesto ingredients into the work bowl of a food processor (except the oil and Parmesan). Pulse until minced finely. While the machine is running, drizzle in the olive oil. Scrape down the sides, add the cheese, and pulse a few more times to combine everything. When the potatoes are finished, drain and transfer them, along with the green vegetable mixture, to a very large serving bowl to cool for a few minutes.Place the prosciutto slices in the saute pan and cook on medium for 4-5 minutes or until they crisp up. Fold the pesto into the vegetables. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Top with crumbled prosciutto. Serve warm or cold. Note: Blanching the vegetables allows them to maintain their bright green color, but this step can be omitted if pressed for time. Also, the pesto can be made 2-3 days ahead of time. Just chill the pesto until ready to use.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
