Purple Asparagus Day Two - Fresh Tomato Penne, with Griddled Asparagus in Prosciutto - Thurs 28th June 2012

Some more Purple asparagus from Aspara Buddies still left, and some slices of prosciutto. Also some fresh tomatoes slightly too soft for salad.

So wrap the lightly blanched asparagus in the ham, peel the tomatoes chop and fry them with some red onions and garlic, cook some penne pasta. Pop the asparagus parcels on the griddle for about 5 minutes, whilst the pasta finishes. Mix the pasta and sauce, top with asparagus, scatter some parmesan and fresh basil.

Hurray! the Azzurri have won the footie as well!

Forza Italia!!
