A - Z Blogging Challenge - F


My husband and children LOVE this recipe, however, I usually only make it once or twice a year.  When you look at the ingredients, you'll understand!!   But hey, we all need a treat once in a while!!!



 “F”   

Fettuccine Alfredo

1 pound fettuccine
½ cup butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup whipping cream
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chopped parsley
Freshly ground pepper
Salt

Bring a large pot of  water to a boil, add a generous amount of salt.  Cook the fettuccini until al dente. Meanwhile in a separate pot melt the butter. Add the garlic and sauté briefly.  Add the cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cheese.   Add the parsley together with the cooked pasta, straight from being strained. Season with freshly ground pepper, toss well to combine and serve immediately.

  3. I used to love this until one time in a restaurant I saw it made, really understood what was in it, and then couldn't enjoy it. Too rich, too many calories and too bad for my heart. But my mouth and tummy love it.

  7. I always wonder how they made this creamy goodness. I've eaten it in restaurants, no wonder I stayed for 3 days afterward.

  12. Oh yeah, anything with cheese, the kids love. That's one you should teach the kids to make themselves, because it's so easy.
