I am a wife and mom of two beautiful girls who happens to be a professionally trained chef. I have dreams of one day publishing a cook book, but in the mean time I want to share this gift I've been given with all of you, so grab a fork (or sometimes a spoon)...because I'm in the kitchen!

Alfredo Giardino

I got the idea for this recipe in the Clean Eating Magazine Sept/Oct 2010 issue. I didn't have time to make my own sauce, hence the jarred version. I had leftover cooked chicken breasts that I sliced and put on top, but you could go meatless or add cooked shrimp.

Alfredo Giardino (Garden Alfredo) Serves 4
8 oz fettuccine noodles
1 Tbs olive oil
1 zucchini, quartered lengthwise and sliced
1 yellow squash, quartered lengthwise and sliced
1 red bell pepper, diced
8 oz sliced mushrooms
1 cup frozen green beans
1/4 tsp salt
pinch of pepper
1 cup jarred Alfredo sauce (i used HEB four cheese Alfredo)
grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

While the noodles are boiling, heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the oil. Cook the veggies in the oil, stirring frequently, until veggies are tender; about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Cooking the Veggies











Toss with 8 oz cooked fettuccine and 1 cup sauce. Top with Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Sauced up!
