Spring Vegetable Fettuccine Alfredo

Try this quick and easy dinner recipe - delicious Spring Vegetable Fettuccine Alfredo!

If you ask my boys what their favorite meal Mom makes is, there is a pretty good chance they will say Fettuccine Alfredo! I’ve had the best easy Alfredo sauce recipe for years, and it’s such a quick and easy dish that feels so comforting and satisfying. But today I’m giving it a little pick-me-up with some fresh spring flavors and delicious vegetables!

This is just my go-to basic Fettuccine Alfredo with the addition of asparagus, peas, and mushrooms, but you can easily customize the dish with any vegetables your family likes. We often use broccoli and add a protein like shrimp or chicken (this shrimp recipe is DIVINE with my Alfredo), or if you want to be extra decadent, just go ahead and add in some crispy chopped bacon. ?

I also love that this is such a quick and simple dinner idea, and in the time it takes to bring the water to a boil and cook the pasta, you can have the vegetables cooked and the sauce made and ready to go! Just serve with a salad and some garlic bread for the perfect easy dinner. I hope you enjoy this Spring Vegetable Fettuccine Alfredo, sweet friends!

SPRING VEGETABLE FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

INGREDIENTS:

8 ounces fettuccine
1 pound asparagus
4 ounces mushrooms
2 tablespoons unsalted butter – for the vegetables
4 tablespoons unsalted butter – for the sauce
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Salt the water generously, and add the fettuccine. Cook according to package directions to al dente, stirring occasionally to keep pasta from sticking together. Drain the fettuccine, and set aside.

Meanwhile, slice the mushrooms, and chop the asparagus into 2-inch lengths. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the mushrooms and asparagus, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to the drained pasta.

Melt another 4 tablespoons of butter in the skillet still over medium heat, then whisk in the heavy whipping cream. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the peas and cook for 2 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat. Add the grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper and whisk until smooth. Add the cooked fettuccine and vegetables and stir until everything is well coated in the sauce. Serve immediately.

Optional: Add a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley and a pinch of lemon zest before serving.

The perfect example of design on a budget. I feel The perfect example of design on a budget. I feel like kids go through so many phases of what they do and don’t like as they get older, and we’re often changing the boys’ bedrooms to make them function better as they grow out of each phase (way too quickly, I might add 🥺).

I’m a big believer in teaching kids to be mindful of taking care of their belongings and their home from the time they are little, which is why I don’t worry so much about light colored couches in the living room or white walls throughout the house. BUT kids are also kids, and I design their bedrooms with a much more frugal budget so that if anything gets old & worn or needs to be replaced/repurposed... I don’t sweat the money that was spent!

In this room we used inexpensive pieces from IKEA, Target and Walmart to create a cozy teenage boy’s room, but it definitely doesn’t skimp on style. We’re planning a little makeover again in this room soon, and I’m excited to show you what we have up our sleeves for my now 15 year old... good grief, where does the time go?

A weird side angle of the living room as proof tha A weird side angle of the living room as proof that a giant TV does in fact exist in here, and we are just a normal family who loves movie nights snuggled up on the couch with the dog & football Sundays with all the yummy food during the game (one benefit of having an open concept living/dining room). I purposely placed the TV in a spot where it isn’t the main focal point of the room and designed the space to draw your eye to other much prettier things like the big picture window just to the left of this photo.

Want to try something like this in your living room? See if you can arrange the furniture so the TV isn’t the main focal point in the room, but still has visibility from the majority of your seating. Try making the focus a fireplace, window, or create a gallery wall with pretty artwork if you don’t have any standout architectural elements!

Just a little tidbit of advice I’ve learned & loved & wanted to pass along... Happy Monday, sweet friends!

A little bit of work & a whole lot of relaxing wit A little bit of work & a whole lot of relaxing with my favorite humans this weekend. I have some fun things to share with you on the blog this week & several house projects going on (the dining & living room are looking SO good!!), but I need to recharge and spend some quality time doing my most important job on this Earth... taking care of my people. 🤍

What are your plans for the weekend? Whatever they are, I hope you have a chance to laugh, rest, eat something delicious, and enjoy a little sunshine (even if it’s sitting indoors because it’s very brrrr outside)!

Quite possibly my favorite view in the house. And Quite possibly my favorite view in the house. And also quite possibly the best place for morning snuggles, second cups of coffee, and the occasional Netflix binge. This room was “shiplapped” over 5 years ago now, but it has never felt like a passing fad or overly trendy with a mix of other vintage & traditional elements in the room. These big, wide planks have my whole heart just as much as the day we installed them back in 2015.

What’s your opinion on shiplap? In? Out? Vertical? Horizontal? Focal wall or the entire room? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

NEW! THE ARMSTRONG HOUSE LIVING ROOM REVEAL Last NEW! THE ARMSTRONG HOUSE LIVING ROOM REVEAL

Last time I shared an update on Mom’s house, I had just revealed the completed renovation, and you were able to see all the freshly painted white walls, new carpet & flooring, and a very stark blank canvas. We intentionally made this space light, bright, & neutral since 1) it’s a rental home, and we want it to appeal to a variety of styles. And 2) it’s VERY small, so the light paint makes it feel much more open & spacious than dark paint would! But all those white walls were in desperate need of a warm, cozy touch, and that’s exactly what Mom and I did…
