Ingredients

12 ounces whole wheat fettuccini pasta

Garlic Alfredo Sauce:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 minced garlic cloves

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Add the 2 minced garlic cloves and saute for a minute until fragrant.
