1 Servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1pack(9 oz) fresh fettucine; plain or spinach
¼poundsSliced pepperoni; cut into strips
1tablespoonOlive oil or butter
2smallsZucchini; diced
¼poundsWhite mushrooms; wiped clean and sliced
2Green onions; sliced
1cupHalf & half*
¼cupGrated parmesan or romano cheese (up to 1/2)
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Cook fettucine according to package directions. Drain and keep warm. Toss with a few drops of olive oil, if desired to prevent sticking.

While pasta is cooking, saute pepperoni until it just begins to crisp.

Drain and set aside. In same skillet, heat olive oil or butter and saute zucchini and mushrooms 3-4 minutes. Add green onions and saute another minute or so. Return pepperoni to the skillet with the vegetables. Add half & half and simmer 3-4 minutes or until it begins to reduce a bit. Add cheese and pepper, if using, and heat through. Toss warm pasta with sauce and serve with additional grated cheese.

*If the sauce seems like more vegetables than sauce, add more half & half.

I think we ended up using about 1½ cups.
