Roll out the prepared crust and fit into the pan you are using. Mine was a 9 inch pan. Prick the crust with a fork all over. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Chop the asparagus into bite size pieces. Separate the tips from the stalks.Blanch the asparagus in a pot of boiling water. Add the tips and blanch all another minute. Rinse under cold water to stop the cooking.

Step 3

Saute the sausage breaking up into pieces just until the pink is gone. Add the sausage to the baked pie shell.

Step 5

Put the asparagus on top and then the cheese.
