Meanwhile cook the fettuccine in boiling, salted water until almost done, about 8 minutes. Then add the asparagus. Cook until the asparagus and pasta are done, about 4 minutes longer. Drain the pasta and asparagus, and toss with the cream sauce. Add freshly ground pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and chopped parsley. Serve immediately, refrigerating any leftovers.
