How to Make Easy Pesto Alfredo Fettuccini

Cook 1 pound fettuccine according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, combine 1 cup Alfredo sauce and 1/2 cup pesto in a medium saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until heated through and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Add the drained fettuccine to the sauce and toss to coat.
Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese (about 1/4 cup, or to taste) and your favorite protein (optional).
