How to Make Asparagus Fettuccine

1. Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
2. While the pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic and asparagus. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until asparagus is tender-crisp.
4. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Pecorino Romano cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. If needed, add a little of the reserved pasta water to thin the sauce.
6. Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the creamy asparagus sauce.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
