In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the asparagus pieces and sauté until they are tender but still crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Cook the tagliatelle according to package directions until al dente.
Drain the cooked pasta and toss it with the Brie sauce in the pot. Add some pasta cooking water if needed to reach desired consistency.
Add the sautéed asparagus and toss gently to combine.
Serve hot, garnishing with freshly ground black pepper.
