Spaghetti with Asparagus in Tomato Sauce
Usually, pasta with asparagus is prepared without tomato, but since I was craving both sauce and asparagus, I made this pasta. It turned out delightful, and from now on, I’ll always make it this way đ A very simple recipe to prepare, which I made with wild asparagus. If you’re not as lucky as I am to have them, you can use store-bought ones and follow the same process!
