Preparation steps

1.

Cook pasta in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente.

2.

For the sauce, peel shallots and garlic and chop finely. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a pot and saute shallots and garlic together until soft. Sprinkle with flour and saute briefly, deglaze the pot with broth and cream and simmer for about 5 minutes, while gently stirring until smooth. Remove the pot from the heat, add 1 tablespoon butter and Parmesan and puree the sauce with an immersion blender and season with salt and pepper.

3.

Peel bottom third of asparagus, remove any woody ends, then slice lengthwise into fine strips. Melt remaining butter in a pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until al dente and season with salt, lemon juice and pepper. Add drained pasta to the pan, mix and arrange on plates. Cover pasta and asparagus with sauce and serve garnished with Parmesan.
