    Simply Spaghetti - Using New Season Asparagus

     The Asparagus season is here and it is beautiful.  Time for lunch
     I felt like a simple Pasta dish what a great way to hero the Spaghetti with Asparagus and some Tomatoes and Garlic


    You will need
    100 gms dried Spaghetti per person
    Olive oil 1 tbs
    Butter 1 tsp
    2 cloves Garlic peeled and crushed
    8-10 Cherry Tomatoes, chopped
    2 Asparagus spears (tough ends removed then sliced )
    Sea Salt and freshly Ground Black Pepper
    Parmesan Cheese - finely grated 


    Bring a well salted big pot of water to the boil
    when it comes to the boil add the Pasta
    after 7 Minutes, add the Asparagus
    Cook for another 3 minutes 
    Drain

    In a pan add the Olive oil and Butter on medium heat
    Add the Garlic 
    Let it  cook gently till it becomes soft and fragrant - don't brown
    Add the Tomatoes and let simmer for a few minutes till they are just soft
    Meanwhile grate the Cheese
    Toss the Spaghetti and Asparagus into the Tomatoes
    Season well with freshly ground Black pepper
    Into serving bowl and top with the grated Parmesan Cheese
    Voila
    Lunch is served
