Pasta in cream sauce with aspargus, dill and lime

Everything turns more and more green outside from day to day. And one vegetable, which really is a spring vegetable is asparagus.

So I when I saw this recipe in the weekly magazine "Femina", issue 15/2015, I knew, that I had to make it due to the use of asparagus.

The taste of the pasta sauce is good, however I would like some more texture as the paste is very liquid.
