Ham and Asparagus Pasta

For the ham and asparagus pasta, cook the pasta al dente according to package directions and strain (reserving some of the pasta water).

Meanwhile, break off the bottom ends from the asparagus and wash and thinly slice the asparagus. Leave the tips whole. Melt the butter in a pan and sauté the asparagus briefly.

Cut the ham into small cubes and add and fry briefly. Now add the tomato cubes and fry them briefly as well. Add about 1 ladle of the collected pasta water and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Now stir in the pasta and season with salt and pepper and some nutmeg. Mix in the finely chopped chervil and serve immediately. If desired, sprinkle the ham and asparagus pasta again with a little chervil.
