Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound whole wheat fettuccine
8 ounces zucchini, cut into thin strips with a vegetable peeler
2 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, crushed
½ cup heavy cream
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in the fettuccine, bring back to a boil, and cook pasta over medium heat until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Lightly cook zucchini by tossing into pasta water just before draining.
  • Heat butter and garlic in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in cream and simmer for 5 minutes, then add cheese and whisk quickly, heating through. Stir in parsley.
  • Toss sauce with cooked whole wheat fettuccine and zucchini strips.
