Veggie Fettucine

Slice carrots, onions and optional pepper. Melt butter over medium heat and mix in olive oil. Saute the carrots for a few minutes alone, until they just begin to soften. Then add the onion and pepper (if using), saute covered for 5-10 minutes until soft, stirring occassionally. Don’t saute them too long, as you don’t want the carrots to get soggy.

While the veggies are cooking, cook the fettucine noodles according to package directions until al dente. Strain and set aside, keeping warm.

When the veggies are almost done, mix in the salt, pepper, oregano, basil and garlic. Saute for a minute or so longer, and test for seasoning. I like lots of flavor. When they are done, mix them in with the noodles and sprinkle the parmesan cheese on top.

The veggies are also very yummy minus the noodles as a side dish.
