Lemon Cream Pasta with Asparagus

I felt adventurous today,

and my hubby is up to anything...

so I decided to try this recipe.

Not my typical pasta sauce 

but surprisingly, it worked out very well.

Plus, it's easy, it's yummy...

 and it's healthy.

Best paired with fried or grilled meat.

Another addition to my hubby's "favorite menu" list.

Try it! ☺
