Preparation steps

1.

Cook the penne in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water.

Peel the bottom third of the asparagus and cut into pieces about 3 cm (1 inch) long. Cook in boiling salted water until tender, about 6 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.

2.

In a dry saute pan, toast the pine nuts, swirling the pan, until golden. Immediately pour into a plate to stop toasting.

In a small bowl, stir together vinegar, lemon juice, 2 to 3 tablespoons water, oil, mustard, and honey. Stir in the herbs and season with salt and pepper to make the dressing.

Toss the penne and asparagus together with the dressing. To serve, place on salad plates and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts.
