Products used in this recipe
Steps of preparation
- Remove the asparagus from their package, cut off the hard ends and chop the spears into small chunks. In a saucepan, add the asparagus to 2 tablespoons of olive oil and saute for 5 minutes, adding fleur de sel flakes and black pepper. Set aside when ready.
- In the same saucepan, add the frozen peas and cook them together with ¼ cup of water for about 5 to 7 minutes at medium heat (the peas should not be soaking in water; this quantity of liquid is just enough to help soften them). Season them with salt and black pepper.
- Once the peas have softened, blend them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and put aside. It should look like a creamy green sauce.
- In the meantime, bring to a boil a salted pot of water and cook the pappardelle for about 90 seconds (they should remain al dente). Drain them and add them to a bowl together with the pesto, the blended peas and some pasta water.
- To serve, place the delicious pappardelle into a serving dish and add the asparagus, lemon zest and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Enjoy this meal while it’s hot!
