MOCK FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Steps:

• Slice zucchini into thin ribbons using a vegetable peeler to create zucchini "noodles".
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir zucchini until tender yet still with a little crunch, about 7 minutes. Season "noodles" with salt and pepper. Move "noodles" to a plate.
• Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat; add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Slowly add flour and whisk constantly until mixture is light brown, about 1 minute. Slowly pour in the milk while constantly whisking until a smooth sauce forms, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir cream cheese into sauce until melted; add 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and whisk until blended. Pour sauce of "noodles" and top with 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese.

FETTUCCINE ALFREDO WITH MUSHROOMS AND CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat butter in a large pot over medium-high heat and add green onions and garlic. Cook until butter is simmering and onions and garlic are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add flour and stir for 1 minute. Stir in heavy cream, milk, Parmesan cheese, and mushrooms. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer until sauce looks thick and creamy, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
• Stir chicken into sauce mixture and heat through, 3 to 5 minutes, to avoid overcooking.
• Serve chicken Alfredo sauce over cooked pasta.
