    6      tablespoons   butter
      1/2  cup           sliced ham
      1/2  cup           sliced mushrooms
    1      lb            pasta (linguini or fettucini)
    2      tablespoons   olive oil
    1      clove         garlic
    2      cups          light cream
      3/4  cup           parmesan cheese

 Melt 2 T butter in pan and lightly saute ham and mushrooms; set aside.
 Blanch asparagus in boiling water until just cooked thru - about 4 min.
 Remove asparagus from water and cook pasta, al dente, in the same water,
 adding more water if necessary. Drain.
 
 Heat 4 T butter & the olive oil in large saute pan.  Add garlic, cook for

 cook for 1-2 min. until slightly thickened.  Lower heat and stir in egg
 yolks; toss for about 1 min to set the egg and further thicken the sauce.
