Peel the white asparagus, cut off the ends, and slice them diagonally.

Fry the bacon bits until crispy. Set them aside.

In the same pan, fry the chopped shiitake mushrooms.

Cook the pasta al dente in salted boiling water. After 4 minutes, add the asparagus and bring back to a boil, cooking them together for another 3 minutes until done.

Return the bacon bits to the pan. Season with pepper and salt. Add sour cream and turn off the heat.

Mix in the drained pasta and asparagus, along with a ladle of cooking water.
