  • 3 spring onions, finely chopped
  • 18.40 gm rice bran oil (See note) or sunflower oil
  • 20.00 ml white wine vinegar
  • 2 bunches thin asparagus, woody ends trimmed
Instructions:
  • Prepare the pasta in a pot of boiling salted water following the package directions. Refresh under cold water, then drain thoroughly.
