For those on solid foods, I tried this tonight
I didn't have the Ricotta cheese so I used a little Parmesian, I also did have any pine nuts. And of course the serving size was way smaller about 2 tablespoons. And the Asparagus came straight from my Dad's garden.

Halve the squash and microwave on a large plate for 20 to 30 minutes or until fork-tender.
Scoop out and discard the seeds.
With a fork, scrape out the strands of squash and place them in a bowl.
Drizzle with a little oil, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and keep warm.
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Slice asparagus into 1-inch pieces.
