Been away...

...for a while. But now I'm back again.
Did quite some cooking though in between.
Yesterday I posted a recipe (or whatever you may call it) on my Facebook, but I'll do it here as well once more. So, here it goes.

Buckwheat pasta with asparagus, walnuts and ham

I took 140-150g of (Spar-Vital) buckwheat pasta, but you can basically take any kind of pasta and cook according to instructions on the bag ;) or by the taste, but let me remind you that pasta or any other food made of buckwheat can make you full rather quickly, so don't make it too much.
Boil the water and put in the asparagus, but don't cook them fully, just so they become a bit tender (2-3 minutes in a boiling water). A handful of about 10-12cm long should do, but you decide if you want more or less. Take them aside and chop them to about a 1-1,5 long pieces.

Now you take some ham and chop, so you get really small pieces. Place a bigger pan on the stove with a few droplets of olive oil. Add the ham and about two spoonful of roughly chopped walnuts. Wait for a few minutes or by the time it all starts to smell really nicely ;) but don't wait for the ham to get too brownish!!!
Now add the asparagus and right before you toss in the pasta, add two teaspoons of low-fat sour cream (it's not necessary, but it gives a bit creamier taste). Now add the cooked pasta and mix all well together.

And you're ready to go :) You may want to add some Parmesan cheese when serving the dish, but it depends on the taste... I'd recommend you first taste it without it. You can find the recipe here.
