Hahah my friend gave me this recipe and in lack of any other name, she put this as the email subject line. Works for me :) Just a fair warning: make sure you like goat cheese before making this recipe as it is definitely the predominate taste.

I'm allergic to goat cheese, so I used feta cheese instead. It was still very good.

This goat cheese pasta with asparagus was a hit with my family! The flavors were rich and creamy, and the asparagus added a nice pop of freshness. I will definitely be making this dish again.
