“I added some chopped shallots and you could modify this by adding some of your favorite veggies or would be a good place to use some of the left over bits and pieces in the fridge.” – April Ferre
Garden Fettuccine
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Olive or Salad Oil
- 1 Clove Garlic Minced or Pressed
- 1 Small Green Pepper Seeded & Chopped
- 4 Green Onions Including Tops, Thinly Sliced

Instructions
- Heat oil in a 10 to 12-inch frying pan on medium-high heat. Add garlic and green pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pepper is limp. Add onions and stir 1 to 2 minutes longer. Mix in tomatoes and parsley. Cook until tomatoes are heated through. Keep warm, on lowest heat, uncovered.
- As vegetables are cooking, cook the fettuccine in boiling water in a 5 to 6 quart pan on high heat just until tender to bite, about 2 minutes. Pour pasta into a colander and drain well.
