This was very good, with a few changes. I lightedned it up by using half milk-half chicken broth as the liquid. Then added 4 oz. low fat cream cheese. Doubled all the garlic and seasonings, and added some cajun seasoning and red pepper flake. I also added 1 cup mozzarella and 1/2 cup parmesan to melt in and thicken sauce. The lemon juice at the end is a must-it really pulls all the flavors together.

After having read several reviews, I used this recipe and added a few things. I pre-cooked the asparagus after having tossed it in a dipping oil (8 min. at 425 degrees). I sauteed the garlic with a carton of sliced mushrooms. I had to add cornstarch after about 10 minutes of simmering the cream sauce. I also added 1/2 tsp. of Garlic Garlic, a heavy dash of pepper and seasoning saltk, 1/2 to 1 tsp. of Pasta Sprinkles (from Penzey's). After the sauce thickened, I added about 1/4 c. shredded Parm. cheese with the lemon juice. I topped the cooked pasta with the asparagus (I did not want it to cook more in the sauce) and about 1 cup of cubed turkey tenderloin. Then I poured the sauce mixture over the pasta, asparagus and turkey.

Very good, but a tad bland. I'm thinking it needs herbs. A great base recipe tho'.

I liked this simple recipe a lot. It needed a bit of salt and pepper and some parm cheese but overall I loved it. Great idea, simple and fast. Thanks.

Delicious! Made a few adjustments; *steamed asparagus to "al dente" then added to sauce of sauteed *3 T butter,3 cloves of minced garlic, 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes and 1/2 c freshly grated parmesan. Forgot the lemon juice and probably could use even more garlic/tomatoes. It just keeps getting better! Hubby and I loved it, and picky 6 yr old ate it!

I agree with the previous reviewers that it took longer than 10 minutes to thicken the sauce. Instead of adding extra roue, though, I added 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese which made the sauce that much creamier.

Even though I found this to be a little bland, I gave it three stars because I loved the creaminess of it and I think it's a great base to add some other flavors in.

Pretty good for being a low-cal dish!! I spruced it up a bit with some salt and pepper and just a little more garlic than what the recipe called for. I also didn't squeeze my lemon to it's fullest, fearing that my boyfriend wouldn't like it. I think it was just the right amount. Will definitely make again!

This recipe needed a lot of adjustments to suit our tastes. I used 2 tbsp butter and 2 tbps olive oil, i sauted the garlic with the asparagus unil tender and moved to the side. I used fat free half and half and almost 1/2 cup of parmesean cheese, the juice of one lemon and let it simmer for a bit. added the asparagus back to the pot and heated through. added salt and fresh black pepper and called it dinner. Will make again and may make a few more adjustments as I go.

I thought that this recipe used too much lemon. Cut the lemon in half and it is much less overpowering.

After suggestions from previous reviewers, I steamed seperately the asparagus and some thinly sliced sweet potato (yam). Added garlic when sauteing some onions and then added cream - once it was thinkened I drained and added the veges. Added a pinch of salt with lemon juice. Tasted great. Would make again.

This was really heavy, I think next time I'll make half the sauce. The taste was good though, but it was missing something extra...chicken! Again, next time!

This didn't turn out well for me. Sauce never thickened even after 20 minutes and some corn starch thrown in. I ended up straining the asparagus and just tossing it and the pasta with a little butter.

Very good dish! The only thing I did differently was add 4 cloves of garlic (love garlic!), used a different pasta because I had it in the house, and used heavy cream (because I didn't pay attention when I bought it at the store). I also steamed the aparagus instead of boiling it.

My cream sauce curdled, so I threw together a quick lemon butter sauce. It turned out fine and saved dinner from being a total loss. Aside from that, I felt that the subtle flavors of the aspargus were cooked away. It would be better off lightly cooked or broiled with a little butter and garlic. I probably won't attempt to make this again. Thanks anyways.

Excellent. I didn't alter any of the ingredients during cooking, but did alter the methods. I put the water on for the pasta first thing, thinking it would be easier (and tastier) to keep the pasta warm, if needed, than the sauce. I did not pre-cook the asparagus, just sauteed with garlic. The sauce was not too thin, as mentioned by previous reviewers, but I did make a half-recipe. The delicate flavor of the asparagus comes through beautifully. I did not find this dish bland at all. I did sprinkle with garlic pepper and Parmesan after serving, but I sprinkle garlic pepper and Parmesan on most of my food. Thanks for a great recipe.

This is a good recipe but we added sun dried tomatos, a little cream cheese(to thicken the sauce), and fresh parmesan cheese all to the sauce while it was cooking. It was very tasty!
