    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Cook pasta in a large pan following packet instructions. Add broad beans for the final minute of cooking time. Drain. Pod broad beans when cool.

    2 Preheat a griddle pan. Put asparagus in a dish with 1 tablespoon oil and toss to coat. Fry on both sides for 1-2 minutes until just starting to colour (asparagus should still be firm).

    3 To make dressing, mix the remaining olive oil with half the mint and balsamic vinegar. Tip asparagus into a serving bowl with pasta, broad beans, the remaining mint, ricotta and rocket. Drizzle over dressing and serve immediately.

    HFG tip

    If using frozen broad beans, pod them after they've been cooked for a vibrant colour, texture and flavour.
