This is a really delicious recipe. Light, but satisfying and not overly rich like an alfredo sauce. I made minimal changes. I halved the recipe, steamed the broccoli and cauliflower instead of boiling, sauteed some mushroom in with the zucchini and onion mix, added halved grape tomatoes at the end of the cooking process and used my own fakin' bacon. We loved how light the sauce was, I thought it might be too milky, but it was perfect. I was tempted to add fresh garlic to the mix, we didn't miss it, so I won't bother next time either. Thanks for posting this yummy recipe, I'll be making it again.

We enjoyed this fettuccini dish very much. I love fresh veggies and pasta and this dish was nice and flavorful. I made only a couple of changes -- I did not have zucchini so I only used broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. I also substituted a can of french onion soup vs. the dry soup mix and then cut back a bit on the milk. Loved the addition of the bacon and cheese. Made for PRMR, September, 2013.
