I often hear about people who are not keen on tomato based sauces for pasta. Italian cuisine is full of variety and there are many recipes without tomato. Asparagus and pancetta is a delicious combination and Garganelli is one of my favourite types of pasta. #italian #pasta #dinner #lunch #mainmeal

Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Fresh Garganelli only takes a few minutes to cook, so don't cook it yet. Chop all your ingredients. Heat oil in a pan and soften the onions. Now add pancetta and cook for about 3-4 mins. Add asparagus and cook for another 3-4 mins.

Tips

How to stop pasta sticking together

Pasta obviously features a lot in Italian cooking. The secret to stop it sticking together is to keep stirring it in the first 2-3 mins of cooking time. Then just frequently afterwards until it is cooked al dente. No oil required. Mix immediately with the sauce and serve.
