Monthly Mingle #10 Spring is in the air: Asparagus cream pasta
Spring means for me rhubarb and asparagus. May, 6th was Tag des offenen Hofes -"Day of open farms" We visited an asparagus producing farm and I bought some fresh green asparagus. I have to admit that my family don't adore asparagus. But this recipe they loved. Beneath Rhabarberkuchen - Rhubarb cake the ultimate spring dish. This is my share for Meeta's Monthly Mingle.
An easy and quick way to serve asparagus for children. Delicious!

Directions
1. To prepare the asparagus, cut off and discard the woody ends, then neatly cut the tips away from the stalks. Keep the tips and stalks separate. In a small saucepan bring the cream and garlic to the boil. Take off the heat, remove the garlic, then set the pan aside.
2. Cook the stalks in boiling salted water for about 4-5 mins until tender, drain, then tip into the cream with the grated parmesan. Blitz with a hand blender until smooth.
3. Cook the pasta according to pack instructions, then throw in the tips 2 mins before the end of cooking time. Gently reheat the cream, drain pasta, then tip into a bowl with the cream. Toss, divide into pasta bowls, top with parmesan shavings and serve.
