Description: This is my new favorite recipe!
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 creamer, such as fat-free half-and-half 1 tsp cornstarch, mixed with 1 tablespoon water 1/2 pound cooked 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
Directions: Place butter and olive oil in a large skillet; 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 creamer together in a small bowl; add mixture to skillet used to cook 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. 
 | This sounds really good, Tracy! |

 | That sounds really good. You can make that for us while we are there. |
