Steps:
- Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Whisk together the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl. Press each chicken breast into the flour mixture on both sides. Tap off excess flour.
- Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat until the butter gives off a slightly toasted fragrance, and pan-fry the chicken until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Set aside. Melt 1 more tablespoon of butter in the skillet, and cook and stir the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes; stir in the shiitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, cremini mushrooms, and garlic, and cook until the mushrooms have given off their juice and begun to brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the fettuccini, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink. Place the pasta into a serving dish, and toss with 2 tablespoons of butter; season to taste with salt and black pepper, and keep warm.
- After the mushroom juices have evaporated, pour Marsala wine into the sauce, and scrape up and dissolve any browned flavor bits in the bottom of the skillet. Turn heat to high, and stir until half the wine evaporates, about 3 minutes; stir in mascarpone, Dijon mustard, and chicken broth; cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened slightly, another 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; return cooked chicken breasts to the sauce. Cook until the chicken juices run clear and the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley. Serve with buttered fettuccine.

CREAMY FETTUCCINE ALFREDO
This a a very creamy alfredo sauce. I found it in my sister's cookbook when I was looking for recipes one day. She had never tried it and doesn't know where she got it from. I decided to give it a try and haven't stopped making it since. It is one of my husbands favorite recipes I make. I also have a few other fans in the family too. It is very easy and quick. Try adding chicken and shrimp to the alfredo sauce.It's delicious! I gave you the details below. I made some changes to the way I make the recipe so I will just give you the directions for how I make it, not what the recipe says.

Steps:
- Go ahead and start your boiling water for the fettuccine noodles and let them cook while you are preparing the sauce.
- **This is the way I make it: In a large saucepan, on LOW to MEDIUM heat, begin melting the cream cheese first and then add the butter so it will not burn. Once the cream cheese is almost melted, add the milk. Once the milk gets warm or hot, add the freshly grated parmesan cheese. As the mixture thickens, add more milk to the amount of your desire, probably an additional 1/2 cup of milk, maybe even 1 additional cup of milk. Be careful or you will add too much and it will not thicken anymore. Keep stirring as you are simmering on LOW heat until smooth.
- ***I like to add chicken and shrimp to the fettuccine mixture too. (In a separate saucepan, cook the chicken with some olive oil, Mrs. Dash original, Lawry's garlic salt blend and salt and pepper. Once the chicken is nearly cooked go ahead and add the shrimp since it doesn't take as long to cook. After the chicken and shrimp are cooked completely, add it to the alfredo mixture. Serve the sauce with chicken and shrimp in one serving dish and your fettucine noodles in a different dish. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Heat the cream in a small pot until it's just about to come to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the lemon zest. Set aside for 10 minutes. Drain the cream through a sieve to remove the lemon zest.
- Put a large pot of water to boil; once it comes to a boil add the fettuccine and cook according to package directions.
- As the fettuccine cook, melt the butter in a large pan (large enough to accommodate the fettuccine). Add the lemon cream and bring to a boil; add a bit of salt and pepper (taste to make sure that it's to your liking; add more salt if necessary). Lower the heat and let the cream simmer; it will reduce slightly and thicken.
- As soon as the fettuccine are cooked add them to the cream mixture. Immediately add the Parmigiano Reggiano and toss gently until all the fettuccine are covered in the sauce. As you toss the pasta, the melting Parmigiano and the starch from the pasta will combine to thicken the sauce further.
- Serve the pasta immediately with additional Parmigiano.
- Enjoy!

GIADA'S CREAMY BAKED FETTUCCINE WITH ASIAGO AND THYME
Saw this on Everyday Italian on the Food Network. Very rich and creamy! Also would be good with spinach added. **NOTE** If you're on a budget you can switch out the fresh cheese for the Italian Blend shredded cheese which has the Parmesan and Asiago in it and it still turns out great! Also can be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge overnight. Just top with the cheese right before baking.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your fettuccine. Look for organic or local ingredients whenever possible.
- Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This will prevent it from becoming mushy when you add the sauce.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta, but not so thick that it's heavy or gloopy.
- Season the sauce to taste: Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, garlic, or herbs.
- Garnish the fettuccine with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or thyme will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.
Conclusion:
Creamy fettuccine is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make a creamy fettuccine that will impress your family and friends.
