Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Asparagus and Peas Fettuccine.
Step 1
Start by heating a large saucepan over medium-high heat and add the bacon.
Step 2
Cook it for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s beautifully browned and crispy.
Step 3
Once it’s done, carefully drain the bacon grease and transfer the crispy bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess fat.
Step 4
Next, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
Step 5
Toss in the asparagus and peas, cooking them for about 5 minutes until they’re tender yet still vibrantly green.
Step 6
Drain the veggies and set them aside for later.
Step 7
In the same pan where you cooked the bacon, add the chopped onion and sauté it over medium heat for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
Step 8
Now, stir in the cooked asparagus, peas, and the crispy bacon pieces, letting those flavors mingle.
Step 9
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mixture and season it with salt and black pepper to your liking, adding a zesty touch.
Step 10
In a separate large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the fettuccine.
Step 11
Cook the pasta, stirring often, for about 5 minutes until it’s perfectly tender.
Step 12
Once cooked, drain the fettuccine well.
Step 13
Now, add the hot fettuccine to the pan with the asparagus mixture over medium-low heat, gently tossing everything together to combine.
Step 14
Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing those flavors to blend beautifully.
Step 15
Finally, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese blend over the pasta and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the cheese melts into a creamy delight.
Step 16
Gently stir the melted cheese into the fettuccine and vegetables, creating a luscious dish that’s ready to serve.
Step 17
Enjoy every bite of this comforting and flavorful meal!.
