100g salami
50g butter
2 lemons, zested
250ml double cream

Directions
INGREDIENTS
- 250g Dunnes Italian Fusilli Pasta
- 100g salami
- 50g butter
- 2 lemons, zested
- 250ml double cream
- 100g fresh or frozen peas
- 100g asparagus spears, woody ends snapped off
- 100g parmesan, finely grated
- 75g rocket leaves
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
METHOD
- Place a large saucepan of salted water over a high heat, bring to the boil and add the pasta, cooking according to packet instructions.
- Whilst the pasta cooks, place a large, deep saucepan over a medium heat and when hot, add the sliced salami. Dry fry, turning occasionally, until crisp then remove to a plate and set aside.
- Add the butter to the saucepan and allow to melt, then add the lemon zest and double cream. Simmer for 3 - 4 minutes until slightly reduced, stirring often.
- Add the peas and asparagus to the pasta cooking water for the last 2 minutes of cooking time.
- Scoop the pasta and vegetables into the sauce along with a little of the pasta cooking liquid and toss to coat everything in the sauce. Allow to simmer for a minute or two until the pasta has absorbed most of the liquid, remove from the heat and stir through two thirds of the parmesan, little by little, retaining a small amount to garnish. Season with salt and pepper to taste then crumble in half of the crispy salami, breaking it into shards with your hands, and the rocket.
- Serve straight away in bowls with the remaining parmesan, parsley and salami sprinkled over the top.
