INGREDIENTS

  • 350g dried spaghetti
  • good glug of olive oil
  • 90g prosciutto slices, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed & peeled
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
  • 2 bunches asparagus, chopped
  • 50g finely grated parmesan
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh spring onions or chives
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

HOW TO MAKE IT

  1. Cook the pasta in a saucepan of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain, reserving approx. 2 tablespoons of cooking liquid. Return the pasta and reserved liquid to the saucepan.
  2. Lightly steam the asparagus in a steam oven (around 3 minutes 100% humidity) or simply add a sieve above the pasta saucepan the last few minutes of cooking for the same effect.
  3. Meanwhile, heat a good glug of olive oil in a Chistera Braiser (the grey colour is used here). Stir the prosciutto for a few minutes or until golden and crisp. Stir in garlic and chilli flakes for 1 minute or until aromatic. It will smell amazing! Stir in the asparagus for around a minute.
  4. Add the pasta to the prosciutto and asparagus mixture and stir in the parmesan, chives and parsley to the pasta. Toss to combine. Divide among bowls. Season with salt and pepper.
