Fettuccine Paolo

I found this recipe in the May 2008 issue of Runner’s World magazine. The recipe is copied almost directly since we loved it so much (although my picture shows angel hair because we were all out of fettuccine). I love this meal for nights when we will be short on time (but have planned ahead) You can have all of the ingredients prepped the night before. When it is time to cook, just follow the directions and you’ll have a great meal in about 20 minutes.

Enjoy!
