Remarks
The trick in this recipe is to cook the asparagus and farfalle together. That's why we use farfalle, as it cooks quite quickly (about 5 minutes), which is about the same time as the asparagus.
If you want to use other types of pasta that take longer to cook, start with them and then add the asparagus, 4 minutes before the end.

Cured Pork Belly With Lentils
Pork belly with lentils is a typical French bistro dish. In principal, it is a mixture of different cuts of pork, usually salt-cured, cooked slowly until "confit" and meltingly tender, served with lentils cooked in stock. This dish takes a good while to prepare, but it's a real treat! It reheats very well, tasting better each time, so do make plenty in one go. November 15th 2015120 K4 3 hours 20 min.
