Fettuccini Aglio e Olio

Some pasta recipes make a great main dish, with examples including lasagna, cannelloni, chicken Alfredo, and so on. This vegetarian fettuccine recipe is far more versatile though, since it can be served as an appetizer, side dish or even the main course. The flavors are simple but the result is mouthwatering and satisfying. And if you want to make it more filling, you can always add your choice of chicken, beef or even seafood.
