Ingredients
- 140 g pasta (whatever shapes you have)
- 4 tablespoon Fat free fromage frais
- 2 tablespoon wholegrain mustard
- 15 g fresh parsley chopped
- 10 asparagus spears quartered
- 1 lemon (juice only)
- 1 pinch sea salt and ground black pepper
- 6 lices prosciutto halved and rolled in to flower shapes
- 30 g Grana Padano or any Italian Hard Cheese; shavings
Instructions
- Put 140 g Pasta in a pan of boiling water and simmer for 12 minutes. 4 minutes before the pasta is ready, add 10 Asparagus spears.
- Drain the pasta and asparagus and put back in the saucepan with 4 tablespoon Fat free fromage frais, 2 tablespoon Wholegrain mustard, 15 g Fresh parsley (reserve some for serving), 1 Lemon (juice and zest only) and 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper.
- Divide between the bowls and top with 6 slices Prosciutto and 30 g Grana Padano.
Notes
- Always grate cheese yourself, as ready shaved or grated cheese in a bag tends to have a coating on it which makes is taste a bit odd and it doesn't melt so well either.
- You can add some peas to the pasta when cooking for an extra green vegetable boost.
- To add some extra protein to this, you can stir in some cooked chickpeas or butterbeans.
- If you like a kick of heat to you meals, then sprinkle some red chilli flakes on top.
