"This quick and simple recipe came from my pantry, freezer and fridge. In other words, what I had on hand. The first thing is to start the water boiling for the pasta and once you have that bubbling your no more than 20 mins from a delicious, family pleasing, meal."

We enjoyed this, Annacia, very good. I didnt realise asparagus were out of season and hideously expensive, so I wrestled with my budget and decided to use zucchini, cut into batons, instead, please forgive me! I think that this would be great with asparagus! I did add a sprinkling of dried chilli flakes, simply because I enjoy them and thought it might be a nice addition, I liked it :). Otherwise as recipe, this was a good supper dish and I will most certainly make this again! Thanks for posting, made for PRMR tag game.

We didn't much care for this dish. We found it was bland and uninteresting to us. I think it would be better if used with real cream, although I know evaporated milk was a must use ingredient forth contest. It is definitely worth playing with though! Thanks for posting!

We really enjoyed this tasty dish, arrrr, it had loads of flavor and was truly outstanding. I made this tasty dish exactly as written and wouldn't change a thing. All the flavors complimented one another beautifully. Great use of contest ingredients. Good luck in the Contest.
