Ingredients
  

For the dressing
  • 1/3 cup The Spicy Olive's extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons The Spicy Olive's Roasted Garlic and Champagne mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Honey
  • 1 clove Garlic grated
  • 1 lemon zested
  • juice from lemon that was zested
For the pasta salad
  • 12 ounces Farfelle pasta
  • 4 ounces Asparagus
  • 10 ounces frozen peas thawed
  • 1 yellow bell pepper chopped
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes halved
  • 1 Shallot minced
  • 1/2 cup fresh dill chopped

Method
 

  1. In a large pot boil water with salt, add pasta and cook according to package instructions. Add asparagus 2 minutes before pasta is done. Drain pasta and asparagus and rinse in cold running water. Toss the pasta and asparagus with the peas, peppers, tomatoes, shallot and dill. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together The Spicy Olive's Extra virgin olive oil, mustard, honey, garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Pour dressing over the pasta salad, tossing to coat. Let the salad sit for a few minutes so that is soaks up all the flavor. Serve in bowls-shave some ricotta salata cheese or some parmesan cheese and drizzle with a little EVOO (extra virgin olive oil).
