1. boil pasta, drain. linguine or fettuccine.
2. boil asparagus for 5 minutes, drain. chop up.
3. in a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter on medium heat. add 3 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 tablespoon of corn starch to thicken [no cream!!] or, omit the corn starch and go for low-fat sour cream instead.
