Instructions
Cook the Pasta:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables:

Combine Pasta and Sauce:
Add the cooked fettuccine to the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat evenly. Adjust seasoning if needed.
