Fettuccine Alfredo with Asparagus Recipe image

Provided by á-3145

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound asparagus
3/4 pound fettuccine
4 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
1 cup heavy cream
Pinch grated nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Step 1 Snap the tough ends off the asparagus and discard them. Cut the asparagus spears into 1-inch pieces. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the fettuccine until almost done, about 8 minutes. Add the asparagus; cook until it and the pasta are just done, about 4 minutes longer. Step 2 Drain the pasta and asparagus. Toss with the butter, cream, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and Parmesan. Serve with additional Parmesan. Notes Variations • Fettuccine Alfredo Eliminate the asparagus. • Fettuccine Alfredo with Ham and Peas Eliminate the asparagus. Add 1 cup frozen peas to the pasta during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Toss 1/4 pound of deli ham, cut into matchstick strips, with the remaining ingredients. • Fettuccine Alfredo with Fresh Mixed Herbs Eliminate the asparagus. Toss in 3 tablespoons of chopped fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, and/or chives, at the end. • Fettuccine Alfredo with Parsley and Sage Eliminate the asparagus. Toss in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley and 1/2 teaspoon dried sage at the end.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The asparagus and Alfredo sauce are a perfect combination. I usually add a bit of extra garlic and Parmesan cheese to taste.

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste. The Alfredo sauce was very heavy and the asparagus didn't add much flavor. I think I would have enjoyed it more if the sauce had been lighter.
