    Asparagus is great for detox

    Asparagus's season is early summer here in Japan. We can find the imported one from oversea all year around but always local produce food is the best.

    It is said the nutritional effect of seasonal asparagus is comparable to that of an energy drink. It’s amazing power.

    It's because it contains ingredients that are effective in promoting liver function and recovering from fatigue.

    Spring is a detox season. During winter, your activity level is low and your metabolism falls, making it easier for waste products to accumulate in your body.

    If you feel that you are not feeling well in early spring, it may be because of waste products. The liver works to decompose and purify the accumulated poison.

    Eat asparagus, get all the poisons out, and have a healthy and active summer. That sounds great so i will introduce nice, flavorful pasta using plenty of asparagus.

    📋 Ingredients

    Here are the ingredients.

    Serve on a plate, and enjoy with your favorite topping such as grated cheese and pepper!

    It's a bit spicy, so if you eat with children, try half the portion of chili pepper. If you like spicy food, you can double it.
