This lemon Parmesan fettuccine with tons of tender zucchini ribbons and sweet peas is the only thing you need to up your pasta night game! The lemon garlic butter sauce is life-changing.
Consider this fettuccine me jumping the gun on zuke season. Too soon? Maybe you should take a closer look at this bomb fettuccine one more time.
Maybe also consider face planting into all that Parm? I’m a taker.
I don’t know about you but I’ve been ready for ALL the summer goods since roughly about February and there is no stopping once the first zucchini gets used. Summer starts NOOW.
Celebrating accordingly with a big ‘ol bowl of noodles. That’s how we roll around here.
The secret behind what makes this lemon Parmesan fettuccine so massively flavorful is in the sauce base. It’s just a simple lemon garlic butter sauce with a few splashes of white wine and it is GOOD. STUFF. We’re gonna saute the zucchini ribbons and sweet peas right in that fantastic sauce and let ’em soak up all that flavor.
Toss your hot cooked fettuccine noodles into all that goodness and your work isn’t done until you cover that bad boy with truckloads of Parmesan.
AHHH. Diving in, don’t try and stop me now.
Noodle goaaaaaaals. Can I get an AMEN for pasta night not sucking tonight??
Breakfast tomorrow certainly isn’t gonna suck either if ya know where I’m goin’ with that.

This was so good! I backed off on the fettuccine a bit and doubled the zucchini ribbons because I was eating with someone who has to watch their carb intake, but it was still wonderful- definitely my kind of comfort food. I can’t wait to have this again in summer with garden-fresh zucchini.
