Number Of Ingredients 12

1 stick butter
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
12 ounces wide egg noodles
3 cups whole milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 cups shredded Italian cheese blend, divided
¾ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, divided
