Nutritional values
Green asparagus is much ahead of its white relative because it contains significantly more vitamin C and beta-carotene (provitamin A). Other vital substances such as vitamins of the B group, minerals and protein also make this noble vegetable a real fitness star.
The traditional season for asparagus in this country begins in early to mid-May, depending on the weather, and ends at the end of June according to the motto "cherries red, asparagus dead". However, since asparagus imports are now coming from other countries, the season has been extended and begins as early as the end of March.

Ingredients
Preparation steps
Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, according to package directions.
Meanwhile, peel the bottom third of the asparagus stalks. Snap off woody ends and cut stalks into 3-4 cm (approximately 1-1 1/2 inch) long pieces on the diagonal. Peel and finely chop onion and garlic. Finely grate Parmesan.
Heat butter in a pan and sauté onion, garlic and ham briefly. Add asparagus and deglaze with wine. Cover and cook 5-6 minutes.
Drain pasta and mix with ham and asparagus mixture. Stir in up to 1 tablespoon Parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
Divide pasta among 4 plates and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Rinse sage and shake dry. Serve pasta garnished with sage.
