    If there are three things I like, its cream sauces, Tagliatalle, and asparagus. Put them all together and you have a match made in heaven. This dish is rich, elegant, and definitely company worthy. It has a beautiful cream sauce that doesn’t cover or hide the rich eggy taste of the Tagliatalle. I personally find that some recipes get carried away with seasonings and spices as if that’s the only thing that adds flavor. The key to such a simple dish like this is to use fresh ingredients and allow them to complement one another. I used prosciutto because I couldn’t find Serrano ham and it subbed just fine. At first I was concerned the prosciutto would make it too salty, but that wasn’t the case at all. In fact, I had to add salt in the end. This one’s a keeper, Don! Thanks for sharing such a delightful recipe.
