  3. Meanwhile start cooking the pasta, according to package directions.
  4. Add the asparagus and pepper.
  5. Increase heat to high and pour in the wine, stirring for about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium.
  6. Pour the half and half and the cream over asparagus mixture and simmer for 2 minutes.
  7. Season with salt.
  8. When pasta is done, drain and return to pot.
  9. Combine asparagus sauce with pasta, stirring over medium heat.
  10. Add cheese, stirring until it melts; transfer to platter.
