Cook asparagus in boiling salted water until they are tender but firm. Melt butter with vegetable oil in a medium saucepan. Increase temperature and add spaghetti. Stir until spaghetti is coated with the butter and lightly browned. Add onion and garlic and stir until tender. Add rice and cook stirring for 5 minutes. Pour chicken or vegetable broth, stir, season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Lower temperature, cover the saucepan and cook for 20 minutes or until rice is soft and the liquid has been absorbed. Add cooked asparagus and cashews and mix.
Serve warm as a side dish.
