Instructions

Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the fettuccine, and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.

Astuce de chef : Cooking the pasta al dente will help it absorb more sauce.

Prepare the Vegetables

In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the broccoli, zucchini, red bell pepper, and carrots in a tablespoon of olive oil until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.

Astuce de chef : Keep the vegetables slightly crunchy to contrast the creamy sauce.

Make the Alfredo Sauce

In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the heavy cream and nutmeg, heating gently.

Astuce de chef : Do not let the cream boil; it should only simmer.

Add Cheese

Reduce heat to low and whisk in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth.

Astuce de chef : Grate your own Parmesan for a better melt and flavour.

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the cooked pasta to the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water, a tablespoon at a time, to reach the desired consistency.

Astuce de chef : Use pasta water to help the sauce adhere to the pasta.

Mix in Vegetables

Gently fold in the sautéed vegetables until evenly distributed. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan on top.
