Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    p. 68 - Excellent, super-quick sauce! In fairness the recipe does anticipate you making your own tortellini but I had purchased some fresh prosciutto stuffed tortellini imported from Italy and this sauce seemed like a perfect match. Adaptations I made were: steaming asparagus in the microwave vs boiling stove top, using the full spears (super-thin) vs just the tips since you puree them anyway, sauteed a little garlic in the butter prior to adding sauce to the pan. We absolutely loved this. The sauce was light and fresh tasting despite the use of cream. I think a little lemon zest would brighten it further and I may try this next time. Fantastic sauce that we'll definitely make again. K-9
