Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

In a large sauté pan, melt half a stick of butter and add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the onions, mushrooms, and asparagus for 3-5 minutes or until the onions are translucent. Add the can of diced tomatoes and let simmer.
