Fettucini Alredo with Asparagus

Learned from Dimitri, who got the recipe from the Internet.

Makes 2 servings.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb asparagus
• 3/4 lbs fettucini
• 4 T butter, cut in pieces
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 pinch nutmeg
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 cup grated cheese

Instructions:

1. Cut off ends of asparagus and cut into 1 inch pieces.
2. Boil pasta and add asparagus at the end for 4 minutes.  Drain and set on individual plates/bowls.
3. Use butter, cream, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and grated cheese, stirring in a pot over low flame until smooth.
4. Add sauce to the top of pasta and asparagus.

Dimitri made this for the Zodda family when he had lost a bet to Jennifer on the 2013 Superbowl.  It was a huge hit and Jason and I definitely plan to make this often!
