ZUCCHINI LINGUINE ALFREDO
A much lighter pasta Alfredo recipe that's packed with veggies and flavor, but tastes as good as the original. Linguine is extended with shredded zucchini 'noodles' to lower the calorie count and up the nutrition! I promise you can't even tell the zucchini is in there. A great way to use up summer's zucchini abundance too!

- Set three quarts of salted water over high heat in a large covered pot.
- While the water is heating, place a large skillet over medium heat and add four tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the onion and saute for a few minutes, until tender but not brown.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh zucchini, creamy Alfredo sauce, and grated Parmesan cheese are essential for a delicious dish. Choose high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor.
- Cook the zucchini al dente: Don't overcook the zucchini, as it will become mushy. Cook it until it is tender but still has a slight crunch.
- Make sure the Alfredo sauce is creamy: Use a good quality Alfredo sauce or make your own. The sauce should be creamy and flavorful, not too thick or too thin.
- Grate the Parmesan cheese fresh: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese has a much better flavor than pre-packaged grated cheese. Grate it just before serving for the best results.
- Serve immediately: Zucchini linguine Alfredo is best served immediately after it is made. The zucchini will start to lose its texture if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Zucchini linguine Alfredo is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is perfect for busy families. It is a healthy and delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
