- Saffron preparation: Soak saffron stigmas in a little warm vegetable broth for at least 2 hours, covering with kitchen foil.
- Preparing the dough: In a bowl, mix the flour with the eggs and a pinch of salt until the dough is smooth.
Let the dough rest for 30 minutes, covered with a cloth. - Forming the noodles: Roll out the sheet of pasta thinly and cut into strips to form the noodles.
Lightly flour the noodles and arrange them on a tray, covering them with plastic wrap. - Preparing the asparagus: Clean and finely chop the onion, then brown it in a saucepan with a little extra-virgin olive oil.
Add the asparagus tips, salt and pepper to taste.
Cook over low heat, adding a little vegetable broth from time to time, until al dente. - Preparing the apple: Peel the apple, remove the core and cut it into thin slices.
- Cooking the noodles: Cook the noodles in plenty of salted water.
Drain them well al dente, as the cooking time of handmade noodles is very fast. - Mantecatura: In a large skillet, combine the cooked noodles, asparagus tips, chopped walnuts, apple slices, saffron stigmas with their broth, a knob of butter, and grated Parmesan to taste.
Mix well to blend all the ingredients. - Serving: Plate the noodles and decorate them with whole walnut kernels and raw apple slices.
