Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package fettuccine noodles
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup diced multi-colored bell peppers
½ cup sliced green onions, mostly white and lighter green parts
6 cloves garlic, crushed, or to taste
1 cup diagonally cut asparagus spears (1-inch pieces)
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 tablespoons diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)
1 (16 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
At the same time, heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add bell peppers, green onions, and garlic; cook until almost tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Quickly stir in asparagus and Italian seasoning. Add shrimp and diced tomatoes and chiles; toss until shrimp just start to turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add Alfredo sauce and stir to avoid sticking. Cook and stir until sauce is hot and bubbling, and shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 5 minutes.
Serve sauce over fettuccine and garnish with Parmesan cheese.
