Supper last night was a ‘what’s in the fridge ‘supper. And what was lurking in the fridge was one of my favourite veg – asparagus. So, into the pan went two slices of smoked bacon, chopped, then after a minute I added one clove of garlic finely chopped, one red chilli chopped. I steamed the asparagus then cut it into 5 cm pieces and added it to the other ingredients. A little drizzle of olive oil before serving on a bowl of pasta with lots of good parmesan grated over. I was stuck for a name for this dish – asparagus looks like a spear – I remembered the Latin for spear was hasta..so Hasta Pasta it is!!
A quick random comment trying to help more people find your yummy blog. Thanks for liking my post yesterday. When I visited you gravatar to see who you were, to thank you, there was no link to your blog there. I read your bio, and found the text title, but I’m a patient researcher that way and a lot of people wouldn’t. So maybe, revisit that, and you’ll get more visitors here (you already have a lovely group of commenters!). Food looks great!
