This asparagus cream sauce is a clever way to reuse the stringy parts from your recently cooked green asparagus. Works with the skin of white asparagus as well. Stop wasting the nutritious asparagus leftovers, because most of the healthy stuff is directly under the skin.

- Finally, let everything simmer for 5-10 more minutes while stiring occasionally, until it is reduced to a sauce with your desired thickness
Recipe Notes
This sauce goes very well with the chicken heart tuna meatballs which I made simultaneously.
Of course, you could also simply use it to go with your asparagus or other types of vegetables, like broccoli, cauliflower or mushrooms.
