Zucchini and Mushroom Alfredo

This is an easy, quick alfredo recipe that I threw together for a vegetarian friend of mine, and it ended up being delicious!

Ingredients

• 16  ounces  packing fettuccine or 16  ounces linguine
• 1⁄2 cup butter
• 14  ounces  whipping cream

Directions

1. Boil water, cook pasta, drain, and set aside.
2. In saute pan, melt 1/2 cup butter on medium heat. Add garlic. Let simmer for 30 seconds.
3. Add shredded zucchini and sliced mushrooms. Let simmer until both completely cooked. Add whipping cream. Simmer on low heat until the mixture begins to boil. Add parmesan or romano cheeses (or a blend).
