Instructions: [Put water for linguine or spaghetti on to boil.]

Snap off tough ends of asparagus. Remove scales from stalks with a knife or vegtable peeler, if desired. Cut asparagus into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.

Combine chicken broth, white wine, chopped shallots, and pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; add asparagus. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.

Add cheese and lemon juice; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until cheeses melt. Set aside; keep warm.

Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and far; drain.

Place pasta in a serving bowl. Add asparagus mixture and sweet red pepper; toss gently. Serve immediately.
