Ingredients

  • 400g Linguine 
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil (+ 1 tbsp for pasta)
  • 2 Yellow Onions
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 800g Green Asparagus
  • 1 tsp Lemon Rind (from about 1 big lemon)
  • 400ml New Roots La Cooking
  • 1 tbsp Sea Salt
  • 1 tbsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Parsley
  • 1 tbsp Chives
  • ¼ tsp Nutmeg
  • Garnish: Lemon Slice & Fresh Basil

Instructions

  1. Salt a pot of water and cook the linguine according to packet instructions. Drain and allow to cool. Mix in 1 tbsp olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Peel the onions and garlic. Slice the onions into thin vertical slices. 
  3. Cut and discard the woody parts of the green asparagus (about 1 inch from the bottom). Now slice the asparagus heads and cut through the entire length of the stems. 
  4. Heat up olive oil in a pan and fry the onions until they become translucent.
  5. Use a garlic press to mince the garlic into the pan. Fry until it becomes light brown.
  6. Add the asparagus to the pan together with the lemon rind. Sautee on high heat for 5-6 minutes.
  7. Pour in La Cooking, cover, and cook for another 5-6 minutes.
  8. Now mix in the salt, pepper, parsley, chives, and nutmeg. Cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  9. Mix the linguine into the sauce.
  10. Serve with a slice of fresh lemon and fresh basil.
