Have made this 3 times in a month since asparagus is in season. On a low fat diet, so the low fat milk makes a great cream sauce. Because of the Dijon, no other flavoring is needed. So easy, quick, and reheats well, just add a little more milk.

This is easy and delicious. The "cream" sauce couldn't be easier, and the dijon is really nice. I took the liberty of substituting half and half for 1/4 cup of the milk, and using garlic and thyme with the mushrooms. I also sprinkled fresh Parmesan over the top.
