Summer Lovin...

We caught a glimpse of summer a few weekends ago... and it was wonderful, spirits picked up, traffic jams were full of smiling faces, brown arms dangling from windows - no matter where you were there was sun to enjoy!

We took ourselves to the beach and, on returning, wanted something quick, easy and summery to satisfy those hunger pangs.

Asparagus & Lemon Pasta

You'll need

1 lemon, squeezed and zested

500gms cooked pasta, Farfalle or Penne are best, I used Fusilli out of desperation!!

4 tbsp of virgin olive oil

1 garlic clove, crushed

100gms pancetta, optional

10 Asparagus tips

Method

Heat the oil and add the garlic.    Add the pancetta and cook through. Add the chopped asparagus and stir until bright green.  Remove from heat, add lemon zest and juice and stir the pasta through.

Serve!
