This is a great dish if you are on a diet and what makes it even better, is, that you do not taste that it has so few calories!

Ingredients for 4-6 people:
a pack with 6 pasta hearts of the Fabbrica della pasta di Gragnano
500 g asparagus
2 pieces of toast (no crust)
20 gr Parmesan
1 tablespoon olive oil
turmeric
hot peppers
salt

Preparation:
Peel the asparagus and cut the asparagus tips and set them aside. Cut the lower part of the asparagus into small pieces and cut them in half.

Put the asparagus in a saucepan with a little water. Now add salt, turmeric and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes.

Cut off the crust of the toast and grind together with the Parmesan cheese in a blender. Roast the mixture in a pan.

Once the asparagus stalks are soft, blend them in the blender with the cooking water, the olive oil, a little salt and pepper.

Cook the pasta hearts for 7-8 minutes in salted water.

Decorate the pasta with the asparagus sauce. Garnish with asparagus tips and the roasted toast and parmesan.
