Butternut Squash Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe – A Healthier Alternative
The perfect time of year to indulge in a healthier Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe! When it comes to fettuccine, we are all about it. With its creamy delicious sauce, it’s also not the healthiest choice when it comes to pasta dishes.
I’ve even tried to add broccoli into my last Fettuccine Alfredo With Broccoli Recipe recipe thinking that would help but as we all know – as amazing as it was – it’s still a decadent dish! Once I saw this recipe, I knew I had to try this dish.
It’s still not a low-calorie, low-carb meal but if you love fettuccine then this is a great alternative. Butternut squash added the creamy without the cream, a pop of color and veggies to this recipe. Plus, you get a pinch of sweetness as well. And yes, it’s just a pinch so no worries.
Here’s the recipe!
