Kristiana and I made a meal this evening together!!! She had such a good time and did really well!
Walnut Asparagus Fettuccine (we added cut-up chicken to it as well)
1 16oz package of Fettuccine
1 1/2 lb fresh asparagus cut into 1 inch lengths
1 Tbs of olive oil
1 /4 cup butter
1 cup fat-free half & half
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (I put in 1 full cup ;0)
salt and pepper to taste
Bring Water to boil in covered pot. Add pasta and cook al dente (instead of 11 -12 min like the box says I cook it for 8min). Drain. While pasta cooks, place the asparagus in wide skillet with water to cover. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 4 to 5 min until crisp. Do not over cook. Drain. Combine pasta and asparagus and add oil. Toss gently and return to pot to keep warm.
In small saucepan, melt butter. Add cream. Heat until warm , do not boil. Add Parmesan cheese and walnuts. Pour cream mixture over pasta and asparagus. Add chicken if you wish. Add salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently. Serve immediately. Makes 8 - 9 servings.
This is a Favorite Monkey Meal in our house even my picky 3year old loves it!!
