Zucchini & Carrot Ribbon Fettucini image

I have been making this recipe for years and years. Found it originally on a box of Mueller's pasta and it has been a hit since then. A pretty side dish to any meal - even pretty enough for guests. My daughter still requests this for her birthday dinner. It does not have a cheese sauce (see other recipes here on Zaar for that) but you do have the option of topping it with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese but we enjoy it with just a basic buttered coating more often. Hope you enjoy!

Time 25m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces fettuccine (I use whole wheat)
2 small zucchini, washed and trimmed
3 medium carrots, pared and ends trimmed
4 tablespoons butter
salt, to taste (I don't use much at all)
black pepper, coarsely ground, to taste
1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped
parmesan cheese, freshly grated (optional on each serving)

Steps:

  • In preparation: using a vegetable peeler, slice wide thin strips from the zucchini and carrots, slicing the full length of the vegetable. Set aside.
  • Cook pasta according to package directions in a large pasta pot.
  • Heat butter in a medium skillet just until melted then stir in the zucchini and carrot ribbons; cover and cook over low heat 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and stir once more.
  • Drain prepared fettuccine and then toss it with the vegetable ribbons and the herbs.
  • If desired, sprinkle top generously with Parmesan cheese after placing it in a serving dish and serving.
