Asparagus is a fantastic vegetable – it is crunchy and tender at the same time, it has a unique taste and best of all asparagus is incredibly rich in nutrients. It is also surprisingly easy to cook it and mix with other ingredients – you can always mix asparagus with vegetables and noodles, just like in this recipe! To make it more interesting we added our favourite green pea-sunflower pesto, that will suit any diet: there is no oil, no sugar and no dairy in this super easy noodle recipe.
