Asparagus With Herbed Goat Cheese Sauce

This recipe is inspired by the chef's trip to London aboard the Eurostar. The light, delicate sauce, which was made with fresh goat cheese from the market in Louviers, is perfect with freshly steamed asparagus (preferably white, though it is wonderful with green as well). If you can't find fresh goat cheese you may make this with fresh cow's cheese — the flavor will be different but as delectable.
