Fabulous Fettuccine Recipe

Photo by: Taste of Home Fabulous Fettuccine Recipe

My mother-in-law is from Italy, so my husband, Bob, grew up eating pasta dishes. I've been preparing this fresh-tasting version for about 8 years. Bob requests it often, and even his mom thinks it's very good. -Mary Kay Morris, Cokato, Minnesota
