Ribbon Pasta with Asparagus
Asparagus provides plenty of potassium and asparagine. The combination of both substances has a draining effect and stimulates digestion. Asparagus is also loaded with folic acid, which helps the body produce and maintain new cells.
This quick pasta dish tastes great with green asparagus, which are thinner and slightly more hearty than white asparagus.

Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 9 ozs white or green Asparagus
- salt
- 1 Organic orange
- 2 shallots
- 4 sprigs Chervil
- 2 Tbsps vegetable oil
- ½ cup dry white wine (or vegetable broth)
- ¾ cup Soy creamer
- peppers
- 5 ozs green Tagliatelle
Preparation steps
Rinse asparagus and trim the woody ends.
Cut asparagus into pieces, about 3 cm (approximately 1 inch) long. Add to a pot filled with a little boiling salted water, cover and cook until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water and drain well. Set aside.
Rinse orange in hot water, wipe dry and finely grate zest. With a sharp knife, remove all the bitter white pith and cut between membranes to remove whole segments. Coarsely chop the orange segments.
Peel shallots and very finely chop. Rinse chervil, shake dry, pluck leaves and coarsely chop.
Heat the oil in a pan and sauté shallots until translucent, 1-2 minutes. Add asparagus and cook until tender, about 2 minutes.
Pour in white wine, then the soy creamer.
Add orange pieces and zest. Season with salt and pepper and simmer over low heat, covered, until heated through, 5-6 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente according to package instructions. Drain well. Toss with the sauce, season with salt and pepper and serve with chervil.
