Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
12 ounces dry fettuccini pasta
8 ounces fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 cups heavy cream
½ cup unsalted butter
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
8 ounces cooked ham, diced
Directions
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in fettuccini and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir asparagus into pot during last 5 minutes of cooking; drain and transfer to a large bowl.
Meanwhile, heat cream and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until begins to bubble; stir in Parmesan, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne. Continue cooking until mixture thickens, stirring occasionally. Stir in ham until heated through.
Stir sauce into pasta and asparagus; toss until well combined. Serve immediately.
