Asparagus with cheese sauce Thermomix Recipe

Gab and I love cheese, we will take anything that goes with cheese, I saw a post in facebook about cooking asparagus with cheese sauce recently, you can imagine the desire or perhaps the urge of cooking one on my own.

Today I planned to cook "Char Kuey Teow", and also found a new steps to cook it with Thermomix, more effective and easy to cook.

Well, it is about the asparagus with cheese sauce in this post, get back to the topic.

Quite anticipating for this dish, as I started preparing all ingredients I found out I was running out of cheddar cheese, hence I quickly dug out the Parmesan cheese spread, unfortunately it was only left a spoonful, I have no choice to try using shredded mozzarella  cheese, however it did taste nice, I supposed it will taste much better if it is cooked with cheddar cheese.
