    Put the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl and press a depression into it. Add 3 eggs, 3 tablespoons cold water and 2 tablespoons oil. Knead first with the dough hooks of the hand mixer, then with your hands to a smooth dough. Wrap in foil and let rest for about 45 minutes

    Separate 1 egg. Whisk the egg whites with a fork. Stir cream cheese and egg yolk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Carefully mix in the asparagus slices. Halve the noodle dough. Wrap one half well in foil again. Roll out one half thinly (45 x 45 cm) on a floured work surface. Mark half of the pasta sheet. Spread 15 small heaps (3 x 5) of asparagus filling with a tablespoon at evenly spaced intervals on one half. Brush the gaps with egg white

    Fold over the dough sheet. Press the gaps very firmly. Cut squares with a dough wheel. Process the second half of the dough and the rest of the filling in the same way
