One Pot Pasta with Butter Asparagus & Meat Sausage

The asparagus season has begun & the first asparagus has been in the supermarkets for a few weeks. Of course I couldn’t walk around it & took a bunch of green asparagus with me straight away.

Since there was still a meat sausage in the fridge at home & I felt like pasta again, everything came together in the pan & the result was this delicious & super quick to make one pot pasta with creamy sauce, asparagus & sausage insert. Have fun cooking!
