Directions
In a large saucepan, cook fettuccine according to the package directions.
Add vegetables during the last 4 minutes of cooking pasta.
Drain off water and return it all to the pan.
Add Alfredo sauce (canned is fine) and basil, tossing to coat.
Cook over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to your taste, right before serving.
Great when served with hot garlic bread or your favorite warm crusty bread and butter.
