-
8 ounces fettucine or other pasta
-
1/4 cup unsalted butter
-
1 cup leeks, thinly sliced, white and light green parts only
-
1/2 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into thirds
-
2 cups chopped ham
-
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
-
1 cup frozen green peas
-
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
-
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
-
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
-
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
2 ounces Parmesan cheese, finely grated
-
fresh parsley sprigs for garnish (optional)
Directions
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
Heat butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. When butter stops sizzling, add leeks and cook until tender, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes.
Add asparagus; cook and stir until asparagus turns bright green and crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
Stir in ham and fresh garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add frozen green peas and cook for 2 more minutes.
Stir in cream, salt, nutmeg, and black pepper until well blended, then add grated Parmesan. Stir until cheese is melted, and cook about 1 minute more.
Combine sauce with hot pasta, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
Cook’s Note
For a smooth sauce, purchase Parmesan in a block and grate right before using. Pre-grated cheese usually has an added anti-caking agent that may prevent a smooth sauce.
