Years ago I fell in love with asparagus in a small apartment in Berlin. Today I am sharing with you a perfected recipe of my friend Danny´s penne with asparagus and feta. And if you´re thinking that´s a pretty big portion for one person, you are absolutely right. I cooked way too much pasta. Again. Recipe is up on the blog, link in bio.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
