Asparagus is in season, so celebrate with this satisfying meatless dish from Genise Krause of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. The tender spears pair beautifully with the creamy white sauce, which is tossed with fettuccine right in the skillet.

This recipe is so delicious and very simple to make! I've made it about 3 times now and I would recommend doubling the recipe so you have more of this yummy pasta! My sister loves it too now.

Very easy to make and incredible flavour! A definite keeper. Next time I make it I am going to incorporate chopped porcini or portobello mushrooms, and replace the milk with white wine. The flavour and presentation quality of this recipe is outstanding compared to the ease with which is created.
