Ingredients
-
The measurements are weighed; 100 grams of peas is about 1 cup. I used fresh, but you can use frozen. 400 grams of asparagus is about 1 pound, with the rough ends chopped off.
100 grams fresh english peas (out of the pod)
1 lb. fresh asparagus
1/2 medium sweet onion, diced
8 ounces Barilla Plus Farfalle
1 can of white beans, drained and rinsed well
1.5 T. olive oil
salt and pepper
1 C. chicken broth
3 T. white balsamic vinegar
1/3 C. grated parmesan cheese
Directions
Trim the rough ends of the asparagus off.
Cut the remaining spears into bit-sized pieces.
If using fresh peas, de-pod them :)
Cook the pasta to al dente according to the package directions. With 3 minutes left, add the asparagus. With 2 minutes left, add the peas. Drain.
While the pasta cooks, dice the onion. Heat olive oil in large saute pan and saute onions until tender, about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper. Then add 1 cup broth and keep warm.
Return the pasta and veggies to the pasta pan. Over low heat, add the broth/onions and toss well. Then sprinkle with the balsamic vinegar. Finish by adding the grated parmesan and toss to distribute evenly.
Makes 4 servings of about 14 oz. each.
You could reduce the calories by making 6 servings.
