Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb fettuccine
1 1/2 lbs asparagus, ends removed and cut into 2-inch lengths
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup chopped shallot
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup fat free sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook until it is crisp-tender, about 2 to 4 minutes, depending on the thickness of the asparagus. Using a slotted spoon, lift the asparagus out of the boiling water and plunge it into a bowl of ice water. Drain.
  • Bring the large pot of water back to a boil, add the fettuccine and cook until it is al dente, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, bring the chicken broth and shallots to a boil in a large skillet. Cook until the broth has reduced by half. Add the lemon juice and lemon zest. Whisk in the sour cream.
  • Add the drained asparagus and fettuccine to the sour cream sauce and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the fettuccine and asparagus among 4 warm bowls and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
