Uncle Bill's Asparagus Pasta Primavera image

I developed this recipe several years ago, as I had an abundance of my own home grown asparagus and just had to find new ways of using the asparagus. I submitted this recipe to TASTE OF HOME to see if it would rate. Well, I was awarded a runner-up prize which made me feel real good. It can be found in the April/May, 2004 Taste of Home edition on Page 27, ASPARAGUS PASTA PRIMAVERA. There's plenty of fresh herb flavor in this delicious pasta meal that blends asparagus, ham, mushrooms and plum tomatoes. Sometimes I like to use spinach linguine or fettuccine.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out really watery. Other than that, the dish was delicious.

The sauce is a little too heavy for my taste. I would recommend using less cream or milk.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I had some leftover from a previous meal and this was the perfect way to use it up.
