Fettuccine Alfredo II

Cook the pasta according to package directions, omitting the salt. In the last minute of cooking time, add the zucchini strips. Drain and place in a serving bowl; keep warm.

Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick skillet, melt the butter. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to turn a straw color, about 2 minutes (do not allow to burn). Remove from the heat and add the milk, whisking until smooth.

Return to medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture bubbles and begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Add the cheese, lemon juice, and nutmeg; stir until smooth. Pour over the hot pasta and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
