    Spring Asparagus and Lemon Fettuccini


    Source of Recipe


    WW.com

    List of Ingredients




    2 tsp butter
    2 tsp olive oil
    1 pound asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
    1/2 tsp table salt
    1/4 tsp black pepper
    1 large egg(s)
    1 cup fat-free half-and-half cream
    1 tsp cornstarch, mixed with 1 tablespoon water
    1/2 pound uncooked fettuccine, cooked and kept hot
    1/4 cup parsley, fresh, chopped
    2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
    1 Tbsp lemon zest
    2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

    Instructions



    Place butter and olive oil in a large skillet and melt over medium heat. Add asparagus, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until asparagus begins to brown, about 6 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside. (Note: If using thick asparagus, peel the bottom of each stalk with a vegetable peeler and then slice each in half lengthwise to ensure they'll be properly cooked.)


    Meanwhile, whisk egg and half and half together in a small bowl; add mixture to the same skillet used to cook the asparagus. Place skillet over medium heat and add cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly, until thickened. Add remaining ingredients and asparagus back to pot, stir to combine and serve immediately. Yields about 1 1/2 cups per serving.
