This recipe is inspired by both Jaime Oliver's Creamy Shells and Peas recipe and a local restaurant's version. However, I've never been tempted to make Jaime's; I'm sure it tastes awesome but I decided to tweak it to my heart's content. Mine is very fast to make and very fresh tasting.

Steps:
- Trim the tough ends of the stalks from the asparagus. With a vegetable peeler, pare away any tough skin from the lower half of the stalks. Rinse the asparagus in cold water.
- Either cook the asparagus in a steamer or tie in a bundle standing in two inches of water. Cook, covered, until tender but firm. Drain and, when cool enough to handle, cut the stalks into three-quarter-inch pieces. Meanwhile, bring four quarts of water to boil for the fettuccine.
- Melt the butter in a large frying pan. Add the garlic and the shallots and saute for one minute. Add the prosciutto or shrimp and the cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for several minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper. Add the asparagus and keep warm until the fettuccine is cooked.
- Cook the fettuccine until al dente, drain, and transfer to a heated serving bowl. Add the sauce, toss, and serve. Pass the cheese separately.
Tips:
- Choose the right pasta. Fettuccine is a good choice for this recipe because it is a long, flat noodle that can hold the creamy sauce well. Other good choices include tagliatelle, pappardelle, and linguine.
- Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and will not hold the sauce well.
- Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh asparagus, mushrooms, and peas will give your dish the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh vegetables, frozen vegetables are a good substitute.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the vegetables. If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing and will not brown properly.
- Use a good quality prosciutto. Prosciutto is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for prosciutto that is thinly sliced and has a deep red color.
- Don't boil the cream. When you add the cream to the sauce, be careful not to boil it. Boiling the cream will cause it to curdle.
- Serve the pasta 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:
This creamy fettuccine with prosciutto, asparagus, mushrooms, and peas is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The creamy sauce is rich and flavorful, and the prosciutto, asparagus, mushrooms, and peas add a variety of textures and flavors. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
