White asparagus pasta with a tomato and mozzarella salad


It has been a lazy weekend for me, and the Sunday shall continue the same way. We will just go to town shortly and then for dinner to a friend's place. It's still sunny, and the plants are desperate for some rain, but some has finally been forecast for next week. Before that, we will definitely enjoy this warm Sunday, as there is another busy week ahead.

Light pasta dishes are simply the best in this hot season, especially as you can get all the lovely seasonal produce. Now I made a white asparagus pasta with some fresh pea shoots on the top accompanied by a tomato, olive and mozzarella salad. It was a really nice light dinner, and I'm sure that I will have many more dishes like this during the summer.



White asparagus pasta

Fresh spinach tagliatelle
Bunch of white asparagus

Method

Prepare the asparagus by peeling it and cutting it into small pieces.

Chop the onion and garlic finely.
