Asparagus Cream Cheese Fettuccini

Only 5 ingredients and just a few minutes to prepare if using fresh pasta. i guess you can use regular pasta but it will take a few more minutes. in the recipe, it's moutarde a l'ancienne. recipezaar can't find that. ancienne means old. so i wrote old mustard. the brand maille has this mustard.
