Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
3 shallots, finely chopped
1 bunch asparagus, tips cut from stalks
1/4 cup chicken stock
2 boxes frozen peas (10 ounces each), defrosted
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
3 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
3 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, chopped
Directions
Place a large skillet over medium heat with two turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons. Add the shallots to the pan and cook until tender, 4-5 minutes.
Add the asparagus tips and stock to the pan and cook until the asparagus is tender, 2-3 minutes. Add the peas to the pan and cook until heated through, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
While the veggies are cooking, combine the ricotta with the mint and parsley in a small bowl. To serve, transfer the veggies to a serving dish and top with the herbed ricotta.
