A great no cook pasta sauce. I've made this adding shrimp and chicken. It is easy and delicious!
Farfalle with Asparagus, Orange and Basil Sauce
3/4 lb pencil thin asparagus
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
Grated zest of 1 large orange
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temp
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, cut into strips
1/4 cup freshly grated asiago or parm, plus extra for serving
Cut asparagus spears into 1 1/2 inch lengths, set aside.
Combine garlic, orange zest butter, salt and pepper in pasta serving bowl. Set aside to warm to room temp or place the bowl (make sure it's heatproof) over the pasta pot to warm the ingredients and melt the butter while heating the water. Once the water comes to a boil, remove bowl and set aside.
Cook pasta in large pot boiling salted wated until almost al dente. Add asparagus until tender about 2 minutes. Drain pasta and asparagus and add to sauce in bowl. Sprinkle with basil and asiago. Serves 2-4
