DIRECTIONS

Fill a large pot with water and the drained liquids of the asparagus and the olives; bring to a boil. Cook pasta for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute mushrooms, peas, and Italian seasoning until mushrooms are tender.
In a blender or food processor, puree asparagus, black olives, tomato paste and Parmesan. Transfer to a small saucepan, and heat through over medium-low heat. Spoon asparagus sauce over fettuccini, and top with mushrooms and peas.

If there were a zero star category, I would have given it that rating. Unless you LOVE the taste of CANNED vegetables, don't make this. I've been married for 31 years, and this was only the second dish I've ever made that my husband and I had to throw out because it was so awful. The first one happened the first year we were married. I thought I was pretty good at reading recipes and picking good ones, but this was truly bad.

I had to add a small can of sauce to even get the blender to turn over to puree the mixture. The asparagus really overpowers the flavor and I used freshly cooked asparagus instead of canned. I cut off the tips to add to the mushrooms and peas on top. Overall my husband (the mushroom lover) OK'd the recipe, but my daughter and I had a hard time finishing our plate. I won't make this again.
