Cook the pasta, according to package directions, until al dente. Scoop out about a cup-full of the pasta water and then drain the pasta.

While the pasta is cooking - in a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter an then saute the mushrooms until golden. Toss in the asparagus and saute until just tender. Stir in the garlic and cook for about a minute.

Turn off the heat and stir in the rest of the ingredients. Continue to stir until smooth, adding in the cooked pasta and a bit of pasta water, 1/4 cup or so at a time, until everything is nicely coated.
