Finely chop 1/2 small onion and 1 clove garlic. Sauté in 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil over medium heat until softened (about 3 minutes).
Add 1 cup cooked asparagus (approximately 2-3 spears), a pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, and a pinch of mace to the pan. Cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
Transfer the asparagus mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
Gradually add 1/2 cup heavy cream (or more to reach desired consistency), blending until a smooth, creamy sauce forms.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Heat gently before serving, or serve chilled.
