For a richer flavor, consider using Greek yogurt instead of low-fat yogurt. It will provide a creamier texture and a more intense tang. A pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper can enhance the flavors of both the asparagus and the raspberry sauce. If you prefer a smoother sauce, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve after warming. Garnish with fresh raspberries or a sprig of mint for an elegant presentation.
