Cut the asparagus into small pieces. Remove the rind from the Gouda and grate the cheese. Cut the ham into small thin strips. Puree the hollandaise sauce with the Gouda cheese and half of the ham and asparagus. Stir in the pasta and simmer on a low flame until the pasta is al dente. If necessary, add asparagus stock in between. Stir frequently to prevent the pasta from sticking.
