While the vegetables are cooking, in another large kettle cook the fettuccine in boiling salted water for 10 to 12 minutes, or until it is al dente, and drain it well. Stir the pasta into the vegetables and keep the mixture warm. In a small skillet cook the remaining 5 tablespoons butter over moderate heat, swirling the skillet, until it is browned, add it to the pasta mixture with the Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste, and toss the mixture well.
