Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ½ pounds fresh asparagus
4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups heavy cream
salt to taste
ground white pepper to taste

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. The orange cream sauce is simple to make and adds a lot of flavor. The cashews are a nice addition, but you could also use another type of nut, such as almonds or walnuts.
