Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Boil the pasta in salted water. Put the asparagus into a roasting tin, then toss with the oil and pancetta. Roast for 10 mins until the pancetta starts to crisp up, stir in the tomatoes, then cook for 5 mins more.

  • step 2

    Drain the pasta, then add to the roasting tin along with the torn basil leaves and seasoning. Stir well until everything is glistening, then serve in bowls, scattered with grated Parmesan.

Delicious and easy recipe for a warm evening. I swapped out the pancetta for parma ham and the parmesan for some fresh lemon juice.

Excellent easy recipe. I also added red onion, mushrooms and a tablespoon of balsamic glaze at the end of cooking.

I love this simple, quick to prepare and delicious recipe. Been making it for a few years now. Sometimes I have used bacon lardons or pancetta lardons instead of strips which I think I prefer as you get a bit more meat in the dish. I have made it for veggie friends without the meat too. I also add…

Helen Farrow Wheaton

Yes, lardons are good 😊

Made this last night, and have to agree that it is really tasty. I halved the ingredients all except the pancetta as was only cooking for two of us. This will definitely be a keeper.
