I found this recipe in an old community cookbook that I paid 50 cents for at a garage sale! My husband just loves it!—Michele Cornish, Blairstown, New Jersey

Ingredients:
• 12 ounces uncooked angel hair pasta
• 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
• 1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
• 1 teaspoon minced chives
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2-1/4 teaspoons salt-free seasoning blend
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2-1/4 cups milk
• 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
• Grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, place asparagus in a steamer basket; place in a large saucepan over 1 in. of water. Bring to a boil; cover and steam for 3-5 minutes or until crisp-tender.

2. In a large saucepan, saute mushrooms and chives in butter until tender. Stir in the flour, seasoning blend and salt; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Add the Swiss cheese; cook and stir until melted.
