Fettuccine Alfredo

Feel like eating awesome Italian food but don’t want to go out? Why not make it yourself?! Here is an awesome recipe for Fettuccine Alfredo that my husband and I carefully crafted and is sure to delight. If you’re watching your figure though, this recipe is definitely not for you, but it will make your tummy happy if you do. ^_^

You will need:

• 1/2 Cup (1 stick) of butter
• 1 Pint heavy whipping cream
• 2/3 Cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (plus a little extra for topping)
• 2 Cloves fresh garlic, crushed
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• dash of salt to taste
• 1 box of fettuccine noodles

Start the water boiling for the noodles while you get the cheese grated and the garlic de-skinned then add the noodles once it’s boiling. In a small sauce pan, melt the butter an add the garlic, saute for a minute or so. Next, add the cream and pepper and simmer on low, do NOT boil. Simmer for a minute then add the cheese and continue to simmer the sauce for about 8 minutes or until it thickens.

Spoon sauce over fettuccine noodles, top with a little parmesan and enjoy! ^_^

I like to add cooked chicken as well, I usually cook the chicken right before I make the sauce and keep it warm in the pan until the sauce is finished. Super yummy!
