This recipe was delicious! I was a little nervous with the asparagus, sun dried tomatoes and orange pepper having a 5 yr. old and an 11 yr. old, but it won them over :)

This recipe is easy to make and I love the creamy taste of it. I substituted cream cheese for the whipping cream and it turned out just fine. I also added in shrimp for something different!

My family loved this dish! I added shrimp to the boiling pasta prior to adding the asparagus. Delish!

I loved the combination of flavors and its perfect for when asparagus is in season. I customized it a bit ( added some fresh tomatoes; salt and pepper) and it was delish!
