Instructions

ooking Instructions:

    1. Cook the Pasta:
        • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

        • Add the whole wheat fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente (typically about 8-10 minutes).

        • Once cooked, drain the pasta and set aside.

    1. Prepare the Mushrooms:
        • While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

        • Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they become golden brown and tender.

        • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, being careful not to let the garlic burn.

    1. Make the Sauce:
        • Reduce the heat to low and pour in 1 cup of almond milk or low-fat milk. Stir gently to warm the milk.

        • Add 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt to the skillet. Stir continuously until the yogurt is well incorporated and the mixture begins to take on a creamy texture.

        • Gradually sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly, until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

    1. Combine Pasta and Sauce:
        • Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet with the mushroom sauce.

        • If using spinach, toss in 2 cups of fresh baby spinach. Stir to combine everything thoroughly. The spinach should wilt slightly from the heat of the pasta and sauce.

    1. Season the Dish:
        • Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

        • Add the zest of one lemon for a refreshing flavor boost. Stir well to distribute the seasoning evenly.

    1. Garnish and Serve:
        • Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the pasta dish.

        • Serve immediately, and enjoy your healthy and delicious Fettuccine Alfredo with Mushrooms!
