Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package dry fettuccine pasta
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup mashed cooked butternut squash
½ cup salted butter, cubed
½ cup milk
2 cloves garlic, minced
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅔ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium zucchini, quartered and sliced
1 medium Squash, summer, yellow, raw
6 medium fresh mushrooms, quartered
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
While pasta cooks, combine cream cheese, butternut squash, butter, milk, garlic, and nutmeg in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until all ingredients are blended. Stir in Parmesan cheese and mix until smooth.
Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Saute zucchini, yellow squash, and mushrooms until tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Drain pasta, toss with vegetables on a large serving platter, and pour Alfredo sauce over top.
