Step-by-Step Instructions

Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine until al dente according to the package directions. Before draining, reserve a little pasta water in case you want to loosen the sauce later.

While the pasta cooks, heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook briefly until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Whisk in the Dijon mustard, flour, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, and chicken broth until smooth, then let the mixture bubble for 1 minute.
