Spaghetti with Asparagus and Arugula

Such a simple and delicious meal. This Spaghetti with Asparagus and Arugula recipe is something that anyone can make and anyone can enjoy!

Ingredients:

•  1 dl + 1 tbsp olive oil
• about 28 thin asparagus tops (5 cm / 2 inch piece)
• 375 g spaghetti
• 120 g arugula, chopped
• 1 red chilli, seeds removed and finely chopped
• 2 tsp grated lemon peel
• 1 clove of garlic, grated
• 75 g parmesan
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• salt and pepper

Directions:

1.  Bring to boil a large pan of hot water over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt, and Soften the asparagus for 3-4 min. Take the asparagus out with a slotted spoon, rinse under cold water, let it drain off and place it in a bowl.
2. Reheat the water and add the pasta. Cook it until it is al dente. Let it drain off and place it back in the pan
3. While the pasta is cooking add the arugula, chilli, lemon peel, garlic, and parmesan to the asparagus, blend and add to the pasta.
4. Add the olive oil and lemon juice to the pasta and blend together.
5. Serve with parmesan, salt and pepper on top.

And you know, being slightly stressed when making this meal – I totally forgot to take photos except for when I was cooking the asparagus. I don’t doubt that this will be made another time and hopefully I will remember to take the photos then!
