METHOD

1

Boil the pasta

Cook tagliolini in well-salted boiling water for two minutes less than the packet time.

2

Char the asparagus

Slice asparagus on the diagonal. Heat oil in a wide pan and cook with garlic for five minutes until charred and tender.

3

Make the sauce

Add lemon zest, juice and a ladle of pasta water. Stir for one minute to emulsify.

4

Toss

Tip in the pasta with another splash of water. Toss for a minute, finish with parsley and yeast.

VEG.ARMY TIP

Save the asparagus stalks — peel them, simmer in the pasta water and you have a free vegetable broth.
