Ingredients
-
4 pounds asparagus spears
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 cup chopped onion (1 large)
-
1 tablespoon bottled minced garlic (6 cloves)
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
½ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
-
¼ cup dry sherry or dry white wine
-
¼ cup reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel)
-
12 ounces assorted sliced fresh mushrooms, such as white button, shiitake, cremini or oyster mushrooms
-
1 ½ tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
-
2 teaspoons snipped fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of water to boiling. Prepare a large bowl of ice water. Snap off and discard woody bases from asparagus. Cut spears into 2-inch pieces. Cook asparagus in the boiling water for 4 to 6 minutes or just until crisp-tender. Drain asparagus. Plunge asparagus into the ice water; let stand until cooled. Remove asparagus; pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
-
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, salt and pepper; cook until softened. Stir in broth, sherry and cream cheese; bring to boiling. Add mushrooms; cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until mushrooms are softened and sauce thickens slightly. Stir in Parmesan cheese and thyme. Add the cooked asparagus; heat through, stirring to coat.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
