This is a really good light version of fettuccini, you can leave out the chicken and asparagus and just have it as a side dish as well.
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
While the water begins to boil make the sauce:
Put olive oil a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and lemon zest and cook until the garlic is slightly soft, about 1 minute. Add the asparagus, and cook until almost tender. Add in the flour and cook 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and 3/4 teaspoon salt and cook, whisking constantly, until just thickened, about 3 minutes. Add the Neufchatel and parmesan cheese; whisk until melted, about 1 minute. Stir in the chopped parsley.
Add the fettuccine to the boiling water and cook until al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and return to the pot.
Add the sauce and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water to the pasta and gently toss to combine, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen. Season with salt. Divide among bowls and top with parmesan and pepper.
