Cooking Steps

Prepare
1
  • Boil plenty of salted water in a pot or saucepan for the pasta.
  • Chop the onion and crush or mince the garlic.
  • Cut off around 2cm from the base of the asparagus, then cut the spears into 4cm chunks. 
  • Heat a clean frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the bacon lardons for 3 - 4 minutes, then remove from the pan and set aside.
Make the sauce
2
  • In the same pan, fry the onion and garlic for 3 - 4 minutes, then deglaze with the white wine vinegar.
  • Add the cream and crumble in the stock cube (see pantry for amount). Mix well to combine and allow to simmer until serving over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, finely chop the fresh herbs.
Boil the pasta
3
  • Boil the pasta for 2 - 3 minutes, then add the asparagus and cook for another 2 - 3 minutes or until done. 
  • Reserve some of the pasta water, then drain and transfer to the sauce.
  • Add three quarters of the goat's cheese and half of the fresh herbs.
  • Mix well to combine, adding a splash of pasta water as necessary. Season to taste with a generous amount of salt and pepper.
Serve
4
  • Serve the arugula on plates and drizzle as preferred with extra virgin olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Top with the pasta and the bacon lardons.
