    Treat yourself to this delicious, decadent Fettuccine Alfredo with Asparagus and Sun Dried Tomatoes tonight!

    A Bowl of Fettuccine Alfredo mixed with sun dried tomatoes and asparagus.

    Do you reserve certain foods for special occasions?

    One dish I always cook on New Year's Eve is Fettuccine Alfredo. If we're home that is.

    This year, we'll be spending the night with friends, so I decided to make it a little earlier than usual!

    There's a reason I only make pasta with Alfredo Sauce a couple times a year ... and that's because it's super rich.

    Fettuccine Alfredo with Asparagus and Sun Dried Tomatoes

    Fettuccine Alfredo couldn't be easier to make. Hot pasta is tossed with melted butter, cream, and then freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

    These simple ingredients create a decadent Alfredo Sauce that thickens and coats the noodles. All you need to finish the pasta is salt and pepper.

    For this recipe, I also added sun dried tomatoes and asparagus. However, feel free to add your favorite vegetables. Peas, broccoli, and sauteed mushrooms all work very well. Or skip the vegetables altogether, as I usually do, and serve a fresh salad alongside.

    However you serve it, this Pasta with Asparagus and Sun Dried Tomatoes is sure to be a hit on your next special occasion!

    By the way ... if you like this recipe, make sure to try my Pasta Primavera with Roasted Vegetables, too!

    • 1 pound Fettuccine
