Pasta with asparagus and ham
Ingredients:
- spaghetti pasta (1 serving=about 100 g=3.5 oz)
- 1 onion
- 500 g green asparagus
- 100 g sliced deli ham
- 2 dl cooking cream (10 % fat content)
- salt
- black pepper
- grated cheese
How to make it:
- Simmer the finely chopped onion on a little bit of oil.
- Rinse the asparagus and cut off the root ends. Cut it into 1-2 cm pieces and add it to the onion. (You can add a little water too, if needed.)
- When the asparagus is almost soft, add the sliced ham, season it with salt and pepper, then put a lid on it and let it cook for a few minutes.
- In the mean time, cook the pasta and when it's still chewy (al dente), add it to the asparagus.
- Add the cream and cook on low heat, stirring frequently until it thickens.
- Serve it with some grated cheese on top.
