Fettuccine in Parmesan Cream with Asparagus
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.
