      I made this with your scallops recipe, and they complimented each other nicely. I do agree with the other posters that it could use garlic though, so I will add it next time. Used vegan parm but otherwise made as directed. I really like not throwing half of my asparagus away, and this will be a great thing to make when you find fat asparagus super cheap.

      I think this is a completely genius idea. I always feel guilty throwing out the asparagus stems because they're too tough to eat. It seems like such a waste! Making this creamy sauce from the pureed vegetable is such a great trick. I did make one change. I thought it could use a little garlic. Before I added the olive oil to the food processor, I heated it up with two cloves of chopped garlic. Thanks for sharing!

      This was delicious. I love green veggies as pasta sauce/pesto. I added garlic and salt and pepper. Personal pref but for us it would have been a little flat without it. This would be best served with seafood or a light chicken dish. Trying to use up food in fridge and had this with meatloaf. I had a feeling the meatloaf would overpower it (and I was right) so we just ate the bowl of pasta first then the meatloaf. I'll make this again and I'd like to serve it with lemon chicken!

      We loved this pasta dish and I'll be doing this again soon. Served it with your savory sea scallops in white wine sauce #55680 and had a very nice meal last night. Thanks for posting this great recipe!
