• 14 ounces tagliatelle or your favorite pasta
• 5 tablespoons butter
• 10 oz green asaparagus, woody ends trimmed, and chopped
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup heavy cream
• 1 3/4 cups vegetable stock
• 5 sprigs thyme leaves chopped
• 2 limes zest and juice from 1 1/2, 1/2 sliced
• 1 pinch sugar
• 3 tomatoes quartered, deseeded and diced

1. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water according to package directions. Meanwhile heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan, add the asparagus, and saute for 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and remove with a slotted spoon.
2. Add the rest of the butter to the pan, sprinkle in the flour, mix well, and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the cream and stock and simmer for a couple of minutes.
3. Add the thyme, lime juice, salt, pepper, a pinch of sugar, and the asparagus. Cook until warmed through.
