Directions
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and cook the fettuccine according to package directions until al dente.

Reserve 1 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the chopped garlic, oregano, and basil to the skillet and saut for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Saut the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until they are tender-crisp and heated through.

Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the vegetables and toss gently to combine.

If the mixture seems dry, add the reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
