    use a combination of fresh asparagus, well-cured deli ham and lots of fresh herbs such as dill, chives and basil to give this pasta dish a tasty array of flavours. It also makes a very pretty, colourful arrangement on the plate. It’s important to source good quality, freshly made pasta and if you can make your own pasta, even better.
