Ingredients
Fettuccine
1 lb (Cooked according to package instructions)
Olive oil
2 tablespoons (For sautéing)
Fresh mushrooms
10 ounces (Sliced)
Garlic
1-2 cloves (Minced)
Refrigerated Alfredo sauce
15-16 ounces (Ready to heat)

Instructions
1
Begin by cooking the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining and set aside.
2
In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Sauté until the mushrooms release their moisture and become beautifully browned, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the refrigerated Alfredo sauce and frozen peas, allowing the mixture to heat through while stirring occasionally, about 3-5 minutes.
4
Once the Alfredo sauce and peas are heated, add 1 cup of grated Romano cheese. Stir well until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
5
Drain the fettuccine and add it directly to the sauté pan with the Alfredo mixture. Toss until the pasta is thoroughly coated in the sauce.
6
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with any remaining Romano cheese.
