Creamy Asparagus Pasta
A seasonal first course made with wild asparagus (in my case) and a mix of spices and cheese to achieve a delicious and very creamy pasta. As soon as the first asparagus comes out, I immediately go for a nice walk in the woods and bring home a bunch, I love them! I’m happier if I receive a bunch of asparagus than flowers 😂 In the past, I’ve also suggested other types of pasta with asparagus like: Asparagus and Salmon Pasta, Asparagus and Bacon Pasta, Clams and Creamy Asparagus Pasta or Asparagus and Ricotta Crepes, etc.
