110g dry white pasta, gigli or farfalle
pinch salt
1⁄8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
100g medium fat soft cheese
1 teaspoon fresh dill
- Snap off woody ends of asparagus, cut each stalk cross-wise diagonally into 2.5cm (1 inch) pieces.
- In a non-stick frying pan heat cooking spray over medium high heat. Add garlic and dried chilli flakes, sauté for 30 seconds. Add salmon fillet and cook for 3 minutes on each side.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package instructions in lightly salted boiling water, adding asparagus 3 minutes before the end of cooking time. Drain well, return to the saucepan and add lemon juice and low fat soft cheese. Stir over low heat for 1 minute.
