      1) Cook pasta according to directions and put pack in pot.
      2) Meanwhile, heat oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat. Cook
      garlic and mushrooms until fragrant and semi done. Add Prosciutto
      and asparagus and cook until asparagus is bright green, about 3 min. Add

      to simmer and cook until sauce has thickened, about 4 minutes.
