For a richer flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more heavy cream or pasta water to thin it out. Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as peas or broccoli, for the asparagus. For a vegetarian option, omit the ham and add sautéed mushrooms or spinach.
