Wow. Two strong memories that came to mind when serving this dish:
1. Cracking hickory nuts outside the kitchen with my cousin's family.
2. Getting up early with the boys to catch the trout.
Henry said it was worth getting up early for this dish alone. Oliver loved the pasta dish, too, though I'm not sure he'd think anything was worth getting up as early as we did as many times as we did to catch the trout. Be reasonable, after all!
Both hickory nuts, toasted, and smoked trout are the wild ingredients are included in this pasta, plus asparagus from the farmer's market. The sauce is made from lemons, capers and olive oil. And, we topped the dish of with a pile of good parmesan. Yum.
We pretty well liked the bowl clean on this meal and it felt great.
