Creamy Fettuccine

Print Recipe

A comforting creamy fettuccine dish with sautéed vegetables and a luscious sauce, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Add fettuccine and cook until al dente, typically 8–10 minutes. Reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil and a tablespoon of butter. Once melted, toss in your choice of chopped vegetables. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Create the Sauce: Pour the heavy cream into the skillet, stirring to incorporate the sautéed vegetables. Let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, and allow it to melt into the sauce. If it appears too thick, slowly add reserved pasta water until your desired consistency is reached.
  4. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing it until each strand is thoroughly coated in the creamy sauce. Don’t forget to season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve Immediately: Toss together to combine, then dish onto plates while it’s piping hot. Optional: garnish with additional Parmesan and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Notes

For a vegan version, replace heavy cream with coconut cream and use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan.
