Preparation
Step 1
1. In a very large, deep skillet, heat 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp of the oil. Add the shallots and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, 8 minutes. Add the asparagus spears, garlic and crushed red pepper, season with salt and cook until the asparagus is crisp-tender, 3 minutes. Add the wine and vinegar and cook until nearly evaporated, 2 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking water. Add the pasta, water, creme fraiche, chives, parsley and tarragon to the skillet, keep warm.
3. In a medium skillet, heat 1 Tbsp of the oil. Add the asparagus tips, season with salt and cook over high heat until crisp-tender, 3 minutes. Add the asparagus tips to the pasta and toss.
4. In the skillet, heat the remaining 1 Tbsp of oil. Add the bread crumbs and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until golden. Sprinkle over the pasta and serve, passing grated parmigiano at the table.
