Asparagus Spelt Pasta!

By Sophies Foodie

The last few weeks, I have made this pasta dinner for a few times! Why? Because it is asparagus season! That means that the white gold is back in town! Lovely succulent fresh white asparagus pasta with a few simple ingredients. It is a super healthy pasta dinner & it uses only 4 basic lovely tasty ingredients! Let’s guess!

MMMM!

I used wholemeal spelt penne, fresh butter, fresh flat-leaf parsley & white asparagus! Ooh yes, so simple, very easy yet delicious to make!

Let’s begin with the tasty recipe!

Fresh cooked white asparagus!

Recipe: For 4-5 persons

Ingredients:

350-400 gr wholemeal spelt penne

2 packets of fresh white asparagus, peeled & each one cut up into smaller bit-sized pieces

a handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley, washed, cleaned, spun dry & cut up finely

fresh lactose-free butter or fresh butter

keep the cooked water where from your asparagus

To serve: freshly grated Parmesan cheese

black pepper

Maldon sea salt

Method:

  1. Take a large cooking pot & fill with cold water. Place your cut up asparagus in it. Place fitted lid on & bring the water to the boil. When it is well boiling, set the timer to 8 minutes. Boil your asparagus for 8 minutes or until just al dente when pierced with a fork. Taste with other pieces too. Drain well but keep about 150-250 ml of the cooked asparagus water. In the same pot, heat of a few knobs of butter. When hot, add drained asparagus & the cut up parsley too. Carefully with 2 hands, shake your pot up & round so that the melted butter & parsley have coated the asparagus. See that the asparagus are hot too. Season with some finely milled black pepper & some salt too but not too much! Keep warm.
  2. At the same time, cook your pasta until al dente. This was 8 minutes. Drain well. Add the butted aspargus-parsley to the warm pasta & stir round carefully in the pot trying not to break the cooked asparagus! Add some of the cooked asparagus water just enough until you get a bit of a sauce. Season again if you need to.
  3. Heat up 2 white pasta plates & place the mix onto your plate. Just before serving, add some freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top! Now, you can taste the sweet asparagus, the parsley, the salted cheese & the yummy spelt penne! Perfect! Enjoy with loved one’s!!!! MMM,…
