Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

8 ounces fettuccine

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoons butter

2 cups sliced (1 1/2 inch) fresh asparagus

1/3 cup thinly sliced shallot

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms

1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

3/4 cup heavy cream

3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add fettuccine and cook until tender with a bite, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove fettuccine to a colander to drain, and reserve pasta water.

Meanwhile, heat olive oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. When butter has melted, swirl the skillet to mix with the oil.

Add asparagus and shallot to the skillet and cook, stirring, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and Italian seasoning and cook an additional 30 seconds.

Stir in heavy cream and bring to a boil. Add grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted. See note. Stir in 1/4 to 1/2 cup reserved pasta water, if desired. Serve immediately.

Cook’s Note

Purchased grated Parmesan cheese usually has an anti-caking agent added that may affect the texture of the sauce. For best results, purchase a block of Parmesan and grate just prior to use.
