Believe it or not, this Quick Fettuccine Alfredo is made with no butter and no cream. Just a little coconut oil, plain yogurt, and parmasean cheese is all it needs to make this every bit as creamy as traditional fettuccine. Pasta is such a simple and great way to make a large amount of food without having to spend a large amount of money. I was really excited to make this recipe and try out the addition of yogurt and the subtraction of cream and butter.
