It has been so long since my last post and, I must admit, I missed it very much. So many wonderful things have happened in my life and continue to happen every days. And for that, I am so thankful. Also, some new and exciting things are happening in Giangi’s Kitchen and I cannot wait to show them to all of you. But for that, you must wait a little bit longer. Now!!! to the dinner at hand. Happy Spring to asparagus lovers everywhere! I know I am a few days early, but I could not resist to share this new recipe from my kitchen to yours. In less than 30 minutes you can have a main meal or a side dish with this light Asparagus and Saffron Farfalle. We had it as a main meal tonight, however it will accompany well any fish or chicken dish. Bon Appetit!! Giangi
