Pancetta & Asparagus Pasta Salad Recipe

Quick simple and packs some nice flavours this thermomix pancetta and asparagus pasta salad is perfect accompaniment to take  (along with some clinker rocky road) to a bbq.  If you're going on a picnic with the family this is a great light salad that won't weigh down any hiking  you may do.

It's also a great salad to have when your in need of a quick dinner - accompany with some "roast" chicken or some shredded chicken as well.

I’ve had this recipe since about 2010 after having this dish at a friend’s BBQ.  I believe it was out of one of the free Coles/Woolworths books at the time. I love the simplicity, the flavour and also the ease in making the dish. Great lunch dish and also works well with ‘roast’ chicken.
