1
Roughly chop the asparagus, courgette, onions and garlic.

Add these to a pan, add boiling water enough to just cover the veg and a pinch of salt.

Blanch for 3-4 minutes.
4
Turn pan off the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.

do not drain the water!
6
With a hand held blender (or transfer to a food processer), roughly blend untill you have a sauce consistency.
7
Add the remaining ingredients apart from the Parmesan and blend further untill desired consistancy.
8
I prefer mine still with a bit of texture so I dont completely puree it.
9
Reheat the sauce for about 5 minutes.

Serve over pasta and add Parmesan over the top.

If you want a protein with this, chicken or fish would go well, or even stir through some cooked pancetta.
