Ingredients




250 g uncooked pasta of your choice
250 g pancetta, cut into small sticks
500 g fresh asparagus ends trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
20 ml dry white wine
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

1 Sauté pancetta in a large pan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crispy. Remove pancetta with a slotted spoon and set aside. 2 Add asparagus to the pan and sauté in the pancetta grease for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until almost cooked. 3 Slowly add the white wine to deglaze the pan. Continue cooking for 5 minutes or until the wine has reduced by about half. 4 Cook the pasta in a large pot according to package instructions. Drain, but reserve ¼ cup of the pasta water for later (if needed). 5 Add the pasta, pancetta and ¼ cup Parmesan cheese to the sauté pan with asparagus, and toss until combined. Sprinkle pasta with the remaining Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
