I was looking for a way to add more veggies to our meals, and hubby was trying a lower protein diet (thankfully that's over!) so I started playing in the kitchen and came up with this recipe. I've even used it for a catering event I did! My 16yo son brags about this meal!

How To Make amy's veggie fettuccine alfredo

  • 1
    Heat oil in skillet. Add onions and saute. After 3 minutes, add sugar to carmelize onions. Cook 2 more minutes, add peppers and garlic and cook about 5 minutes until softened and browned.
  • 2
    Add carrots, mushrooms (with their liquid), water and bouillon. Cover and cook 8 min. or until carrots are softened. Remove cover and continue cooking to evaporate liquid.
  • 3
    While noodles are cooking, melt butter in small saucepan. Add flour and mix with whisk, cooking for 2-3 minutes. You'll want to add enough flour to get a thick paste.
  • 4
    Add half and half, sherry, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring continuously, until sauce thickens. Add Parmesan and mix well.

    Combine noodles, vegetables, and sauce.
