Tagliatelle with Prosciutto, Orange, Asparagus and Tomatoes

We had no sooner gotten our issue of Bon Appetit and my husband decided to make the Tagliatelle with Prosciutto and Orange.
The orange flavor was nice but I felt it needed something more and decided to add asparagus and cherry tomatoes as well as a little garlic.
So... here is the result.

SALT
12 oz. TAGLIATELLE or FETTUCINE
2 Tbsp. BUTTER
1 Tbsp. OLIVE OIL
2 oz. PROSCIUTTO, torn into pieces
3/4lb. thin ASPARAGUS, cut in 2" pieces
1 clove of GARLIC, minced
Zest and juice of 1 ORANGE
1/2 c. HEAVY CREAM
8 oz. CHERRY TOMATOES
Freshly ground PEPPER
1/4 c. PARMESAN CHEESE, grated

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season with salt.
Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until 1 minute before al dente.
Drain and reserve 1/4 c. of pasta water.

Melt butter with olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add prosciutto and asparagus and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until asparagus is nearly tender.
Add garlic and stir until fragrant.

Add reserved pasta water, orange juice, zest and cream; bring to a boil.
Add tomatoes just long enough to heat them through and then add the pasta.

Season with salt and pepper and stir in the cheese.

Serve with additional Parmesan if desired.
