Fettuccine Alfredo

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...
