Veggie Fettuccine in Lemon-Butter-Garlic sauce

Weekend went by like a breeze. "M' had taken 2 days off and we visited St.Louis along with some friends.'E' and 'A' had great fun taking a tram on the St.Louis Gateway Arch. 'E' even drew a picture of us under the Arch!! Isn't it cute:))

For dinner we had stopped at Olive Garden. I had ordered the Chicken Scampi Pasta. I loved how such a 'light' sauce can be so flavorful and had decided to give it a try as soon as I come home.

So here goes my version of a similar sauce---

 Ingredients:
1 Pkg Fettuccine Pasta
1 cup broccoli florets
1/2 cup red bell pepper cut into squares
1/2 cup green peas
1/2 cup whole milk(optional)

Sauce:
4tsp butter
4tsp olive oil
2tsp Lemon juice
1tsp crushed garlic
1/2tsp red pepper flakes
1tsp Italian seasoning(basil, oregano. thyme etc)
1/2tsp black ground pepper
salt

Method:
1) Boil the pasta in salted water as directed on the package.Drain and keep aside
2) Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pan.Add the garlic and the veggies and saute for 1-2 mins. The veggies should remain crisp.Add the remaining seasoning to the butter and toss the pasta in.Add the milk and toss again till well heated.
3) Squeeze lemon juice on the pasta and toss.Serve Hot!!
