In a medium bowl, combine Bertolli® Premium Champignon, Portobello Mushroom Pasta Sauce, olive oil, shallot, and herbs.

Season, if desired, with ground black pepper.

Remove ½ of the mixture and combine with mushrooms and thyme; set aside to marinate for 10 minutes or refrigerate overnight.

In a large stockpot, bring water and kosher salt to a boil.

Meanwhile, trim asparagus by snapping the ends a few inches from the base, or for jumbo asparagus, with a vegetable peeler, peel ½-inch below the tip.

For the dressing, combine remaining sauce mixture, reserved marinade, and vinegar.
