Place the pasta in a pot with the asparagus (cut into 1 cm pieces), cream, broth, and 1 tablespoon of parsley. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Simmer on low heat until cooked through, stirring frequently. Ensure there is always some liquid in the pot; add a little more broth if necessary. Season to taste shortly before the end of the cooking time and, if desired, refine with a splash of white wine. Sprinkle the remaining parsley over the dish before serving and serve the Parmesan cheese on the side. Serve with a colorful salad and a delicious white wine. Tips: It’s best to use a little less liquid at the beginning; the sauce should be creamy. The cooking time varies depending on the type of pasta.
