  • Use fresh asparagus. Fresh asparagus should be bright green and snap easily when bent. Avoid asparagus that is limp or has brown or yellow tips.
  • Cook the asparagus properly. Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, roasting, grilling, and steaming. The most important thing is to not overcook it. Asparagus should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
  • Choose a good quality ham. The ham you use in this recipe should be flavorful and not too salty. You can use deli ham, smoked ham, or prosciutto.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese. The cheese sauce is what makes this dish so creamy and delicious. Use a good quality Parmesan cheese and plenty of it.
  • Serve immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Asparagus ham fettuccine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover ham. With its creamy cheese sauce, tender asparagus, and flavorful ham, this dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
