• Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a pan of boiling water according to the pack instructions. Add the asparagus for the last 2 min of the cooking time, then drain everything and return to the pan.

*Sally’s tip: It’s a myth that adding salt to the water when boiling pasta (or veg for that matter) speeds up the cooking process. Remember, too much salt is bad for our blood pressure and heart health.
