Instructions

  • TO START

    Bring a large pot of water to the boil and add salt.
  • COOK THE PASTA

    Drop the Orecchiette into the water and stir and cook according to the instructions on the pack.
  • COOK THE VEGETABLES

    Meanwhile, in a large fry pan, heat a little oil. When hot, cook the onions until golden, then add the asparagus (not the tips) and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add spinach and sultanas and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the Barilla Ricotta sauce and bring to a simmer.

  • COOK THE ASPARAGUS TIPS

    A few minutes before draining the pasta, add the asparagus tips to the water.
  • COMBINE AND SERVE

    Drain the pasta one minute before the suggested time and toss it into the sauce with half a cup of cooking water to allow the pasta to finish cooking in the pan. Serve with salted Ricotta and a drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive oil.
