500 GR. of fresh organic Asparagus

DIRECTIONS:

Put a saucepan containing plenty of water to boil, moderately salty, because the result of out carbonara pasta is very tasty sauce already with  cheese.

Meanwhile, cut the asparugus into small cubes (we don’t like to use the white and of asparagus)

Sautè organic olive oil and onions  for minimum 10 minutes with a flame very low, when golden brown add the asparus,  let cool slightly.

Meanwhile, beat the eggs yolks in a bowl. (You can add some white only to have more cream, as example for 4 yolks, add 2 whites).

Than beat  Parmesan and Pecorino cheese with some drop of the skimmed milk or cream or water from the pasta that is boiling.

Add more salt and pepper if you are using the milk or milk cream.

Mix well all with the aid of a whip.

Dropped the pasta and when it is ready, without skipping over the fire, drain and pour into the bowl and mix it together with the previously prepared sauce, than add the yolks.
