Asparagus and Mushroom Pasta

 

You can create this deliciously creamy and savory dish easily! You can make this dish with store-bought fettuccine or with fresh noodles, but for the sake of simplicity, we’ll use the store-bought ones.

Boil your noodles until al dente and add a teaspoon of oil to avoid sticking, save ½ cup of pasta water for later. Sautee mushrooms in medium-high heat for 8 minutes or until tender and add salt and pepper. Add the asparagus and red pepper and stir around for 2-3 minutes or until crisp.

 

Add the wine and scrape the bottom of the pan and let it sit and reduce for 2-5 minutes. Lastly, add the pasta, heavy cream, lemon juice, and ½ cup of pasta water to the pan. Reduce to medium and cook for two more minutes and you’re done!
