Every year I look forward to asparagus season and all the culinary opportunities it brings. Asparagus is incredibly versatile and lends itself equally well to gourmet cuisine and quick, everyday meals. This tagliatelle recipe is a great one for a dinner party or simply for a weekday meal. It's easy to make and tastes wonderfully fresh and creamy.
