2 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1/2 lb cooked ham, diced

  • Toss pasta and asparagus with sauce and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients. Fresh asparagus, flavorful ham, and creamy fettuccine pasta are essential for making a delicious dish.
  • Cook the asparagus properly. Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender-crisp. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality ham. A smoky, flavorful ham will add a lot of flavor to the dish. If you don't have ham on hand, you can substitute cooked chicken or shrimp.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta and vegetables. If the sauce is too thin, add a little bit of cornstarch or flour.
  • Serve the dish immediately. Asparagus is best when it is served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to make the dish ahead of time, you can cook the asparagus and ham in advance and then reheat them before serving.

Conclusion:

Asparagus, ham, and fettuccine are a classic combination that is sure to please everyone at the table. This dish is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give asparagus ham fettuccine a try. You won't be disappointed!
