ASPARAGUS LINGUINE
I learnt this technique for cooking asparagus from one of the nonnas I met at the market in Rome. By frying, then adding a little liquid and reducing to a low temperature, you ensure the flavours combine beautifully. Creating emulsification at the very end gives a perfect sauce that's as much about flavour as it is texture.

Steps:
- Cook the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions.
- Meanwhile, snap off and discard the woody ends of the asparagus, then finely slice the spears at an angle, leaving the tips whole.
- Peel and finely slice the garlic, crumble up the dried chillies, and place both in a large frying pan on a medium heat with 2 tablespoons of oil and the butter. When the garlic starts to sizzle, stir in the asparagus. Let it start to fry, then add a spoonful of pasta water, cover, and leave to simmer on a low heat until the pasta is al dente.
- Using tongs, drag the pasta straight into the asparagus pan, letting a little starchy cooking water go with it. Turn the heat off, then finely grate in the pecorino and toss together until the fat, cheese and liquid make a natural creamy sauce - loosen with a little extra cooking water, if needed.
- Taste and season to perfection, then divide between your plates. Finish with a grating of pecorino and a little lemon zest, to taste.

Steps:

Pour the chicken stock into the pan and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook until the tomatoes start to burst and the stock is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.

Steps:
- Snap the woody bottoms off the asparagus stalks and throw them away.
- Cut off the top 4cm of each stalk, put to one side and finely chop the remaining stalks. Heat a wide frying pan and gently fry the chopped asparagus stalks in a little olive oil with the pancetta. When the asparagus softens slightly turn the heat off and mash them roughly with the back of a fork.
- Cook the tagliatelle in plenty of boiling salted water, according to pack instructions. Add the asparagus tips for the last 2 minutes of cooking time.
- Drain the pasta, reserving a cup of the cooking water, and toss with the mashed asparagus and pancetta.
- Stir in most of the Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper. If needed loosen the pasta with a little of the cooking water. Serve with the last of the Parmesan sprinkled on top.
- Tip: Cooking your asparagus with the pasta is a clever way to save on time and washing up.

ASPARAGUS SPAGHETTI
Lots of asparagus is grown not too far from our h me. Each spring, when it's being harvested, I'll make several trips to the fields. I put about 40 lbs. in the freezer...with what's left, we gorge ourselves on fried asparagus, beef and asparagus, scalloped asparagus, etc.! It's no problem feeding my husband (he's retired; we have two grown children and four grandsons). He'll eat almost anything I put in front of him. We like this dish with a salad and dessert. It's so easy to prepare-it takes only about half an hour from start to serving.

- Heat up a griddle pan, once hot brush it with a little olive oil and throw asparagus onto the hot pan so that the spears are perpendicular to the pan's griddle lines. Allow them to char for a few minutes undisturbed then roll them onto the other side with a wooden spoon. Char them on all sides until the spears are no longer raw but still retain a bit of crunch (about 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of your spears and the level of heat). Season with salt and pepper and take of the pan. Cut them into bite-size pieces and set aside.
- Return the pan to the heat, brush it with some more olive oil and once hot, throw zucchini slices onto it. Again, allow them to char for a few seconds before giving them a good stir. Continue in this manner until all of the slices are cooked, some will be charred more than others. Season and set aside.
