I made this dish few weeks ago in full asparagus season. I saw this recipe at my favorite Italian cooking program "La Prova del Cuoco" and where Anna Moroni showed this pasta dish. Since I had all ingredients I trieded, it is a differnet combination for beeing an Italian pasta but interesting. Well, I have to say the combination is good and this is definitely a past dish I will make again.
In Sweden you still get a lot of asparagus, imported from South of Europe, mainly from Italy and they are getting cheaper and cheaper... I bought 2 more bouchet today too.
Here is the recipe, it is very quick and the ingredients you need are just 3... asparagus, pinuts and feta cheese.
PASTA WITH ASPARAGUS, PINE NUTS and FETA CHEESE
Ingredients: short size pasta, asparagus, feta cheese and extra-virgin olive oil.
Cook the asparagus for 10 minutes in salted boiling water. Take them out (keep the water), cut them in small pieces and put them in a pan with some oil, cook for few minutes. Take the water that you used to cook the asparagus and use it to cook pasta "al dente". Sprinkle some feta on the asparagus. When pasta is cooked mix it to the asparagus and feta. Toast the pine nuts in a pan with some oil and sprinkle them on pasta.
Your dish is now ready... server warm and enjoy!
