Ingredients

1 1/2 lb fresh asparagus spears
1 1/4 cups cold water
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh or 1/8 teaspoon dried chervil leaves
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh or 1/8 teaspoon dried tarragon leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 to 2 drops yellow food color
1/8 teaspoon sugar, if desired
1/3 cup Yoplait® Fat Free plain yogurt (from 2-lb container)
Orange peel, if desired

Directions

1

Break off tough ends of asparagus as far down as stalks snap easily. Tie stalks together in bundle with string, or hold together with band of aluminum foil. In deep, narrow pan, bring 1-inch water to a boil. Place asparagus unright in pan. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Boil uncovered 5 minutes. Cover; boil 7 to 10 minutes longer or until asparagus is crisp-tender; drain.
2

In 1-quart nonstick saucepan, place 1 1/4 cups water; gradually stir in cornstarch. Stir in remaining ingredients except yogurt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
3

In small bowl, beat yogurt until smooth. Pour hot mixture into yogurt, beating constantly. Serve over asparagus. Garnish with orange peel.
