Share:
Ingredients
- 250 g orzo pasta dry, aka risoni
- 8 prosciutto roughly torn, thin slices
- 2 bunches asparagus each spear cut into thirds (see notes if not available, mini, approx 40 spears
- 2 garlic crushed / minced, cloves
- 2 tablespoon olive oil divided, 2 teaspoons
- lemon juice of 1
- 50 g feta cheese plus extra to serve, Danish
- black pepper fresh ground, to taste
- Parmesan Cheese to serve, fresh
Instructions
- Prepare orzo according to package instructions, minus 1 minute of cooking time.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoon of olive oil in a large fry pan and fry prosciutto pieces until crisp.
- When pasta reaches the point where there would be 1 minute left, add chopped asparagus straight into boiling pasta and cook for a further minute and drain, reserving about ¼ cup of the pasta water.
- Add garlic to fry pan with prosciutto and fry for 30 seconds, then add drained pasta & asparagus, feta, lemon juice, 2 tblsp olive oil & black pepper. Mix to incorporate and melt the feta slightly, then switch off heat.
- Add reserved pasta water to fry pan 1 tblsp at time to moisten pasta.
- Top with extra feta and fresh parmesan and serve.
Notes
- If mini asparagus spears aren't available you could just use normal asparagus, but you will need to put them in the boiling pasta with 2 minutes to go instead of 1.
- The amount of pasta water you use in step 5 is really up to you, just make sure you add it a bit at a time. You can't take it out once you put it in!
