A first spring course, creamy, easy and tasty. A quick first course to prepare, just a few ingredients are enough to amaze your guests. The creaminess is given by the spreadable cheese, you can choose the one you like. I mixed it with the spreadable cheese of chives, finely chopped, for an even more particular flavour. Without considering that asparagus is very good for our body.
