Time 30m

Yield 3 to 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds of asparagus
12 ounces fettucine
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 garlic clove, minced
3 shallots, chopped
6 ounces prosciutto or cooked shrimp, coarsely chopped
1 cup heavy cream
Course salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

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.
