Fake Carbonara with Asparagus

Today I prepared a fake carbonara with asparagus, tasty and rich but at the same time light. So good. Perfect for this period. On this Blog you know there are many recipes with asparagus. And today I decided to share a really tasty first course. I used wild asparagus, but if you find them too strong you can opt for cultivated ones. But I must say it’s a recipe that deserves it.
