  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; begin cooking fettuccine noodles according to package.
  2. Melt butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet.  Add onion and cook for 2 minutes.  Add garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt.  Cook for an additional 2 minutes.  Deglaze pan with broth/wine.
  3. Add asparagus to skillet.  Cook for 2 minutes and then add the tomatoes to the skillet.  Toss and let cook for an additional 4 minutes or until asparagus is tender but still has a slight crunch.  Add pasta water and transfer pasta to skillet.  Toss pasta and vegetables.  Serve immediately (excellent with shaved parmesan cheese and basil - or on its own!).
