Chicken Fettuccine

My husband is in love with pasta. He loves me too, but pasta is his favorite food love. When we were first married, it was a challenge for me to figure out how to serve his favorite pasta dishes and still keep it semi healthy. In order to increase our veggie intake, I like to sneak veggies into our pasta dishes to bulk up the volume. It’s a great trick and it combines the best of both worlds.

Tip: If you really love the rich taste of garlic, use garlic infused olive oil in this recipe. I buy mine at Trader Joes.

There are days I want to eat all the pasta in the world.

Top with chopped italian parsley as a garnish. FYI, cilantro and italian parsley look A LOT alike. I love cilantro, but not on my pasta. =)
