This post is also available in: EspaƱol

This recipe for the Homestyle Fettuccine with asparagus is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of RonzoniĀ® Pasta. However, the opinions and text are my own.

This recipe for the homestyle fettuccine has asparagus, garlic, preserved lemons, and freshly shredded Parmesan cheese.

Celebrate Memorial Day with a pasta dish made with RonzoniĀ® Homestyleā„¢ Fettuccine. It is delightful!

If you havenā€™t tried the Ronzoni brand, you need to head over to Publix and buy Ronzoni Homestyle Pasta. It comes in two different shapes; penne, and fettuccine. Both are so delicious, versatile, and perfect for including in your weekly menu and the upcoming Memorial Day festivities.

From 5/11/19 through 5/24/19 you can save $1.00 on any one (1) RonzoniĀ® Thick & Hearty or Homestyle product at your local Publix.

Ronzoni Homestyle Pasta has only two ingredients: high-quality semolina wheat flour, and fresh eggs. That is why I chose this pasta brand to make the delicious homestyle fettuccine with asparagus, preserved lemons, olive oil, and garlic.

The Ronzoni Homestyle Pasta has high-quality semolina wheat flour, and fresh eggs.

A simple dish with few ingredients served hot or at room temperature and an excellent addition to a summertime menu. It is flavorful, with a light texture, citrus notes, and a perfect balance.

Ronzoni Homestyle Pasta won the BrandSpark International 2019 Best New Product Award, which makes it a winner on my list too so that I can make an award-winning dish also.

Now if you love thick and hearty pasta I recommend RonzoniĀ® Thick and Heartyā„¢ Spaghetti or Penne. Showcasing a bronze die thick cut that allows the sauce to fill the nooks and crannies of the pasta and not the bowl!

The Thick and Hearty option is perfect for a chunky marinara or a creamy sauce. Just add Parmesan cheese and you are in for a yummy bowl of goodness, leaving no sauce on the plate. You can find this pasta style at Publix too!

Cooking the best Homestyle Fettuccine with Asparagus Pasta Dish!

Blanching the asparagus first to keep the bright green color.

My family loves simple recipes and in my kitchen, I like cooking with quality ingredients. This fettuccine is one of the favorite meals that has won my familyā€™s taste buds.

The fettuccini pasta is not heavy and has a homemade taste that everyone enjoys. Using fresh asparagus combined with garlic and preserved lemons elevates the dish to another level of yumminess.

Cooking the best pasta for the holidays. Using fresh ingredients. This is an easy recipe ready in a few minutes also.

Plus, I am topping off the dish with outstanding Parmesan cheese. This cheese has a nutty, mellow, sweet flavor that complements the fettuccine dish to perfection.

In order to preserve the asparagusā€™ gorgeous green color, I am blanching the veggie first and then adding it to the pasta once itā€™s cooked.

For extra notes of flavor, I am sautƩing the garlic in extra virgin olive oil and seasoning the pasta with Mediterranean spices and a pinch of salt.

Nothing better than a homemade meal made with quality ingredients

I am also using preserved Meyer lemons. I enjoy this citrus a lot, so when it is in the season I use the Mediterranean method of preserving lemons ā€” using a canning jar, salt, and lemon juice.

The preserved lemons are all edible, including the pulp and the rind. Chopping some and adding them to the Homestyle Fettuccine brightens up the dish with a pleasant sour note, making the meal even more special.

Enjoy a delightful pasta for Memorial Day weekend

I have to confess, I love cooking but not spending too much time in the kitchen. I could prepare my pasta dough and make the pasta, but when there are already options that are made with few quality ingredients, I do not see the need to prepare my own pasta dough.

That is the reason why I recommend Ronzoni Homestyle Pasta. It meets the criteria for a great pasta to use when cooking meals at home. You get fantastic results and perfectly cooked pasta while saving time in the kitchen too.
