Ingredients
400g 00 pasta flour (plain flour is fine too)
4 whole eggs plus 2 egg yolks
400g mini plum tomatoes, sliced lengthways
2 bunches of British asparagus cut in half
100g Grana Padano Riserva
Juice of 1 lemon
Olive oil
Knob of butter
Salt
Pepper
Grana Padano RiservaPasta
Preparation
STEP 1
In a bowl, mix the flour, eggs, egg yolks and a pinch of salt. If preferred, you can also make your dough on a work surface by creating a well in a mound of flour, pouring the eggs into it and slowly incorporating them with a fork. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it’s smooth. Cover in a reusable plastic bag and rest in the fridge for one hour.
STEP 2
Pre-heat the oven to 170C fan. Arrange the tomatoes on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt & pepper and bake for 20 minutes until soft and starting to colour.
STEP 3
Roll the pasta out using a rolling pin or a pasta machine. Cut the pasta into tagliatelle, approximately 6mm wide. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Drop in the tagliatelle.
STEP 4
While the pasta cooks, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the asparagus for three minutes until they start to brown. Add a pinch of salt, lemon juice and butter. After five minutes, transfer the cooked pasta into the frying pan alongside a tablespoon of pasta water. Add the tomatoes to the frying pan and gently toss the tagliatelle to ensure all ingredients are coated.
STEP 5
Plate up. Generously grate over the Grana Padano Riserva and serve.
