This is a dish that will probably give you a heart attack if eaten too often.
But every now and then, I just really want Fettuccine Alfredo.
This recipe is super easy and very good. It's from my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. The cookbook is old, and I love it. I'm not going to ever be able to let it go.
Fettuccine Alfredo
Ingredients:
1/3 cup of half and half, light cream or (heavy) whipping cream
1 tablespoon butter
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
cracked black pepper
nutmeg
Directions:
In a sauce pan, place butter in pan over low heat. After butter is melted, add cream.
Stir and let sit until warm.
Stir in Parmesan cheese.
Add a sprinkle of black pepper and nutmeg.
Stir and let sit over low heat until it barely bubbles.
I will use penne pasta, or you can use fettuccine, obviously. (I just never seem to have fettuccine on hand.) I also saute some chicken to add to the dish, just to give it some good old protein.
Simply mix your choice of pasta and chopped up chicken in a bowl, and then stir in Alfredo sauce.
It's really quick and easy.
And I'm trying to stop eating the leftovers...
