Fettucine with Peas &Broccoli

This dish is very quick to make and is very delicious. It is rich as it contains fresh cream/whipping cream. For those who want to avoid cream, this dish is also very tasty just saute´d in olive oil.

The addition of peas & broccoli makes this dish nutritious as well.
