By Jason Wyrick,

Ingredients

  • 6-8 stalks asparagus
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon, about 2 tablespoons
  • Pinch of coarse sea salt
  • Water
  • 6 ounces fettuccine
  • 2 tablespoons minced parsley
  • 1 cup peas

Instructions

  1. Toss the asparagus in the garlic, lemon juice, and salt.
  2. Grill the asparagus until it just starts to develop a few blackened spots. The asparagus should still have some crispness to it.
  3. Cut the asparagus into 2-inch pieces.
  4. Bring the water to a boil.
  5. Boil the pasta until it is al dente.
  6. Toss the cooked pasta with the asparagus, parsley, and peas.

I think the author would cook the peas, frozen or fresh, before tossing them with the cooked pasta, asparagus and parsley. That’s what I intend to do. Good simple recipe!
