I forgot to salt the white sauce, but other than that it came out really good. I'd never made a white sauce on my own so it's fun to have one to tweak. BTW, the length of time for cooking the asparagus was perfect. Too often I do exactly as the recipe says and it comes out overcooked!

I used fetuccini instead of penne and it still come out really good although I would imagine with penne you'd get more sauce with each bite! :)

Thanks for the recipe!
