Cut Canadian bacon into ½-inch pieces. Create the sauce: Melt butter over medium heat. Blend in flour. Slowly add cream, milk and chicken broth. Cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Add cheese, lemon juice and seasonings. Remove from heat. Stir in mayonnaise. Steam asparagus until just tender. Cook spaghetti al dente. Drain and rinse. Mix sauce with spaghetti and bacon. Pour into a 4-qt. casserole, alternating sauce mixture and asparagus. Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes, or until bubbly. 10 servings.
