Summer spaghetti with asparagus and crispy ham

This was my second in-season asparagus dish last week. A quick and tasty no-sauce pasta with crunchy Summer asparagus and ripe (very important) full-of-flavour tomatoes. If you can't source serrano ham or proscuitto, thin slices of bacon will do fine.
