Delicious with goat cheese and saffron. An ultimate spring dish! We're making Italian this time noodles con asparagi, delicious pasta with green asparagus.

The saffron provides some extra color to your tagliatelle, which is often a bit more yellow than normal spaghetti. Saffron has a very specific taste that you can recognize out of thousands. Not everyone is a fan of it, so you shouldn't use too much of it. Saffron is often seen as a luxury ingredient due to its intensive harvesting methods, and it adds a subtle, floral undertone to your dish.
Due to its unique flavor and vibrant color, saffron adds a special touch to your tagliatelle, making it a real delicacy that your guests will surely appreciate.
If you're looking for a pasta that's ready quickly, but still full of flavor, this Italian tagliatelle con asparagi is a good choice. With just a few fresh ingredients you can conjure up a delicious dish in no time. The green asparagus gives a fresh and crunchy bite, while the cream sauce provides a creamy and rich taste.

And this is how you make it:
- Place the saffron in a bowl and add a splash of water. Set aside.
- Wash the asparagus under cold water and cut the ends off. They can go. Then cut them into thirds and set the cups aside.
- Finely chop the shallot and heat a dash of olive oil in a frying pan. Fry the shallot briefly and then add the asparagus (not the heads).
- Bake for a few minutes and deglaze with the white wine. Simmer briefly on low heat (about 10 minutes) and season with salt and pepper. In the last few minutes, add the cups.
- Meanwhile, bring the tagliatelle to the boil and cook it just not quite al dente. After cooking, add the tagliatelle to the pan with the asparagus, with a spoonful of cooking liquid and the saffron mixture.
- Also add 2/3 of the goat cheese and stir well until the goat cheese has melted and it has formed into a sauce. Serve in deep plates and garnish with the remaining goat cheese
