Steps:
- Bring water to boil in covered pot for the pasta.
- Wash the asparagus, then trim by breaking at the point where the tough, woody part of the stem meets the tender part. Cut into 1-inch pieces, and steam over hot water for 3 to 7 minutes.
- Whisk the yogurt and sour cream with the mustard and the nutmeg, and blend a little of this mixture with the cornstarch to make a paste. Then, return cornstarch mixture to sour-cream yogurt.
- Cook pasta according to package directions.
- Drain pasta and asparagus, and combine with yogurt-sour cream mixture. Cook over medium heat until mixture is just heated through.
- Coarsely grate cheese, and add to the pasta-asparagus mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
