Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
In a small skillet over medium heat, fry the shallots in oil for about 30 seconds until golden brown. Transfer the shallots to paper towels with a slotted spoon to remove excess oil; season with salt. Reserve 2 tablespoons of oil from the skillet.
Step 2
Combine the shallots, chives, and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest in a small bowl; set aside.
Step 3
Boil the beans in a large pot of salted water for 2 minutes. Transfer to a colander and rinse with ice water. Peel the beans from their skins and place them in a medium bowl. (Frozen beans do not need to be peeled)
Step 4
Bring the water in the pot back to a boil and cook the asparagus for 1 minute until tender. Transfer to a colander and rinse with ice water. Drain and add to the bowl with the beans.
Step 5
Bring the water in the pot back to a boil again and cook the pasta, stirring occasionally, until al dente (the pasta should remain firm and dry in the center). Drain, reserving 1½ cups of the pasta cooking water.
Step 6
Meanwhile, heat the oil used for frying the shallots in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots, garlic, and mushrooms; season with salt. Sauté until the shallots are soft, about 4 minutes. Add the crème fraîche, ½ cup of the reserved pasta cooking water, lemon zest, and bring to a boil.
Step 7
Add the pasta and ½ cup of the reserved pasta cooking water, simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently and adding more pasta cooking water as needed, until the pasta is cooked al dente and the sauce thickens. Add the beans, asparagus, and lemon juice, stir, and season with salt and pepper.
Step 8
Serve the pasta topped with the prepared fried shallots and lemon zest.
