A much lighter pasta Alfredo recipe that's packed with veggies and flavor, but tastes as good as the original. Linguine is extended with shredded zucchini 'noodles' to lower the calorie count and up the nutrition! I promise you can't even tell the zucchini is in there. A great way to use up summer's zucchini abundance too!

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh linguine, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and butter will make all the difference in the flavor of your Alfredo sauce.
- Cook the linguine al dente: This means that it should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked linguine will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Make the Alfredo sauce over low heat: This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling or separating.
- Add the Parmesan cheese gradually: Stir it in a little at a time until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder until the sauce is flavorful.
- Serve the Alfredo sauce immediately: It is best enjoyed when it is hot and creamy.
Conclusion:
Linguine Alfredo is a classic pasta dish that is loved by people of all ages. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and creamy Alfredo sauce that will be the perfect addition to your next pasta night.
