Fettuccine with Roasted Tomatoes, Asparagus and Fennel

 Disclosure: This is a sponsored post.

 

After living by myself for the last month, my husband is finally back home from his work obligations in the south, and that means I'm having to readjust my mindset on only having to worry about myself as far as dinner goes. I tend to stock up on pasta when it's just me at home, and last month my eyes must have been bigger than my belly because I ended up with way more pasta than I could eat alone. With summer nipping at our heels, I thought it would be a great time to use up some of my extra pasta noodles while testing out this new recipe that I found on Golden Blossom Honey for Fettuccine with Roasted Tomatoes, Asparagus and Fennel. 

 

Since we're not quite out of chilly weather, the roasted vegetables are a great way to add extra warmth to the pasta, but they also give the promise of the taste of fresh summer veggies soon to sprout in our gardens. It's quick work getting everything together, but paired with a loaf of Italian bread and a glass of wine, it can go from a quick weeknight dinner to something a little more upscale for date night at home. This pasta dish is also a great recipe for entertaining, especially on a budget. I know we're all trying to find ways to cut corners with rapidly rising costs of living, and I appreciate that I can still enjoy a filling and delicious meal with my husband without having to worry about adding expensive ingredients to my cart just to get dinner on the table. And I think that's something most of us can get behind these days! Whether you're going for simplicity or a touch of fancy, this recipe swings both ways.
