Brown butter, or beurre noisette, is butter that is cooked until a golden hazelnut colour and nutty flavour. This simple yet elegant technique is a terrific way to spruce up everyday pasta. Choose a cup-shaped pasta to catch the vegetables.

Ingredients
Method
In large skillet, melt butter over medium heat until foaming and nutty brown colour, about 2 minutes. Add garlic; fry, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add tomatoes, asparagus, salt and pepper; cover and cook until tomatoes begin to split and asparagus is tender, about 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until tender but firm, about 8 minutes. Drain and return to pot. Add sauce; toss to coat. Stir in cheese and parsley.
