I would be interested to try this to see what the flavouring would be like. It doesn’t seem like it would have much taste but also worth a try.

I’ve tried broccoli and pasta, but never asparagus and pasta. Sounds interesting.

Love pasta! Anything can be done with it. The kids love broccoli but would prob have to swap out the asparagus for something else. Thanks for sharing

Sounds a winner and good for winter when avocados aren’t available for the pasta.
