Alfredo sauce brings all the flavor; the mix of cream, butter, and Parmesan cheese reveals its rich taste when baked inside flaky puffs. Whip these up for a dinner party, Valentine&#8217;s Day treat, or just because they&#8217;re irresistibly cheesy! And once you&#8217;ve tried them, you&#8217;ll be searching for more asparagus and puff pastry recipes\u2026 remember those brie, asparagus, and prosciutto bundles?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While traditional Alfredo sauce doesn\u2019t usually include flour or starch, it&#8217;s essential in this recipe. Cornstarch helps the sauce stay put inside the puff pastry without leaking out while baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also prep these ahead of time. Make the asparagus bundles and freeze them on a parchment-lined baking sheet until solid. Store them in a zip-top bag and bake when you&#8217;re ready to indulge. They&#8217;ll stay good for about 1 month. Alternatively, you can bake them and keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat at 350\u00b0F in the oven to crisp them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--WPRM Recipe 33454-->\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe\">\n\t<h2 class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-name\">Alfredo Asparagus Bundles<\/h2>\n\t\t<p class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-summary\">\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-equipment\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-ingredients\">\n\t\t<ul><li>1 tablespoon unsalted butter<\/li><li>1 clove garlic (grated or finely chopped)<\/li><li>1\/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg<\/li><li>3\/4 cup heavy cream<\/li><li>1 tablespoon cornstarch<\/li><li>1\/3 cup finely grated Parmesan<\/li><li>1\/2 teaspoon kosher salt<\/li><li>1 sheet puff pastry (from a 17.3-ounce box)<\/li><li>27 stalks asparagus (ends trimmed)<\/li><li>3 ounces mozzarella (shredded)<\/li><li>1 large egg<\/li><li>1 teaspoon flaky sea salt<\/li><li>1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper<\/li><li>1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley<\/li><li>1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest (optional)<\/li><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-instructions\">\n\t\t<ol><li>Preheat your oven to 400\u00b0F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
