Ingredients

• 12 oz Fettuccine pasta (whole wheat)
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Zucchini, thinly sliced
• 1 Yellow squash, thinly sliced
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Carrots, julienned
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the whole wheat fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter with the olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the zucchini, yellow squash, broccoli florets, and carrots to the skillet. Sauté the vegetables for 5-8 minutes until tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium-low. Pour heavy cream and vegetable broth into the skillet, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce is smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 6

Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.

Step 7

Toss the cooked fettuccine pasta with the Alfredo sauce and vegetables until evenly coated.

Step 8

Top with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of flavor and color. Serve immediately and enjoy!
