Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the prosciutto in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it renders some fat and begins to brown, about 2 minutes.

Return to the heat and cook until the wine evaporates slightly, about 2 more minutes. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Add the cream and nutmeg and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 more minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook as the label directs, adding the asparagus during the last minute of cooking. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and asparagus.

Steps:
- Combine the asparagus, peas, and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Cover the saucepan and cook until the vegetables are beginning to become tender, yet retain some crispness, about 5 minutes; drain any remaining liquid and set the vegetables aside.
- Melt the butter in the saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir the flour into the butter until combined, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the milk, raise heat to medium and cook, whisking frequently, until the mixture thickens, another 2 to 3 minutes. Stir the garlic powder and Parmesan cheese into the sauce; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine in the boiling water until the pasta is cooked yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain and return the fettuccine to the pot. Stir the vegetables, the sauce, and the prosciutto into the fettuccine.

Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus. Look for asparagus spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp, woody, or have yellow or brown spots.
- Prepare the asparagus properly. Wash the asparagus thoroughly and trim off the tough ends. Cut the asparagus into 2-inch pieces.
- Cook the asparagus until it is tender-crisp. You can cook the asparagus in boiling water, in a steamer, or in a sauté pan with a little bit of olive oil. Cook the asparagus for just a few minutes, until it is bright green and tender.
- Don't overcook the fettuccine. Cook the fettuccine according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked fettuccine will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients you use, the better your fettuccine will taste. Use fresh asparagus, peas, and prosciutto. Also, use a good quality Parmesan cheese.
- Serve the fettuccine immediately. Fettuccine is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will prevent the pasta from becoming dry and sticky.
Conclusion:
This creamy fettuccine with asparagus, peas, and prosciutto is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The asparagus and peas add a fresh and springy flavor to the dish, while the prosciutto adds a salty and savory flavor. The creamy sauce is rich and flavorful, and it coats the fettuccine perfectly. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table!
