A velvety yet light first course: the pasta is enveloped in a 24-month aged Parmesan cream made only with cooking water, cheese, and extra virgin olive oil, without cream, to enhance the purity of the ingredients and the freshness of the asparagus. A burst of spring flavor, creamy yet delicate.

Preparation

  1. STEP 1 OF 6

    Wash the asparagus, remove the hard ends, and cut into pieces, leaving the tips whole.

  2. STEP 2 OF 6

    Blanch the asparagus in salted water for 2 minutes, then drain and set aside.

  3. STEP 3 OF 6

    Cook the fettuccine in the same water as the asparagus, draining them very al dente and reserving a generous cup of cooking water.

  4. STEP 4 OF 6

    In a large pan, pour extra virgin olive oil and immediately add grated Parmesan and a little boiling cooking water: stir vigorously with a whisk until you get a smooth cream.

  5. STEP 5 OF 6

    Add the fettuccine and asparagus, stirring and adding more cooking water if needed, until you get a soft and enveloping sauce.

  6. STEP 6 OF 6

    Serve immediately, finishing with freshly ground black pepper and more Parmesan to taste.
