The heat is slowly coming to the Maltese islands and I started to cook a bit more summery and lighter dishes such as salads and this summery Pasta with Asparagus and Mushrooms. I topped the pasta with parmesan and pine nuts and the Lemon juice makes it very fresh and light and it’s actually one of my favourite pastas during the warm summer months.
