- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic

Notes
The Noodles: you can use any favorite long noodle - I like linguine or fettuccine noodles here, but spaghetti or angel hair work great too.
The Veggies: not a fan of asparagus? No problem. Leave it out or swap it for another favorite vegetable like broccoli.
