- Start by preparing your green asparagus: remove the base and peel them lightly (except for the tips) to prevent them from being too stringy.

- Once cooked, plunge the asparagus into iced water to preserve its green colour, then cut it lengthwise. Book.
- Cook the linguine following the instructions on the package.
- While the pasta is cooking, roughly chop the wild garlic leaves, discarding the midribs of the leaves.
- Mix wild garlic, lemon juice and olive oil.
- Once the pasta is cooked, keep about 4 tablespoons of the cooking water and mix it with the wild garlic oil to season the pasta well.
- Serve the linguine in bowls, add the asparagus.
- Cut the burrata into 4 and divide it into plates.
