Healthy Fettuccine “Alfredo”

As I told you in my last recipe, our 30-minute Workout to Help Out the Fund activity, which aims to raise funds for research against cancer, will take place in almost a week. In this recipe, I made a “healthy” version of the famous Alfredo pasta, and I am very anxious to get your feedback, you will be surprised how good they are. I used the color green to identify cancer-fighting foods.
