When boiling pasta always use a large pot, with plenty of water. Add enough salt to the water that it tastes like the sea (yes, it’s a lot!) Check your pasta sooner than suggested on the packet instructions, as you want it to still have a little ‘bite’ so that it’s cooked ‘al dente’.

Let's do this!
- First you need to fry your Like Chicken bites in a nice hot pan with a little oil until golden and crispy.
- Next, in a hot dry pan grill your asparagus for 2 minutes. Add 2 tbsp of water and let them finish cooking in the heavy steam. Turn of the heat, leave to cool a little then cut into bite size pieces.
- To make the dressing: Blend the avocado, garlic, lemon juice, water and salt until completely smooth. Add a little more water to adjust the consistency, we’re aiming for a nice smooth sauce.
