Fettuccine Alfredo with Turkey Meatballs and Veggies
25 mins prepServes 4
A comforting pasta dish featuring homemade turkey meatballs, fettuccine noodles, and a creamy Alfredo-style sauce loaded with sautéed zucchini, squash, bell peppers, and onions.
For the Meatballs: Mix 1 pound ground turkey, 1/3 cup bread crumbs, 1 egg, 1 tbsp chopped parsley, 1 tsp slap ya mama, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic salt, and pepper to taste. Form the mixture into 1 1/2 inch wide balls. Fry the meatballs in oil for 15-20 minutes on medium-high heat, turning periodically so that all surfaces cook evenly.
For the Sauce & Veggies: Cook fettuccine noodles according to directions on the box. While pasta cooks, sauté diced yellow onions and sliced red bell peppers in a skillet on medium-high heat for 5-10 minutes or until peppers are soft and onions are translucent. Now add minced garlic, diced zucchini, and diced squash. Sauté for about 5 more minutes. Add in 1 pint heavy cream, 1/2 cup pasta water, 1 cup grated Parmesan, 1 cup shredded mozzarella, 1 tbsp slap ya mama, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic salt, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and 2 tsp Italian seasonings. Simmer on medium-low until it’s slightly bubbling and the cheese is melted. Add in your cooked meatballs and pasta. Pair with salad and/or garlic bread!
