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:
- 1. Place the butter in a large heatproof bowl. Using an electric mixer on low speed, beat until smooth. Add whipping cream, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until well blended; set aside.
- 2. Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions. Drain well and immediately add the hot pasta to the butter mixture in the large bowl. Using two forks, toss the fettuccine in the butter mixture to coat well. Add salt and pepper.
- 3. Divide the pasta between 4 serving plates. Sprinkle shredded basil over each serving. Serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, good quality butter, and heavy cream will make all the difference in the taste of your sauce.
- Cook the pasta al dente: This means that it should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will become mushy and won't hold the sauce as well.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta, but not so thick that it's difficult to stir. If the sauce is too thick, add a little bit of milk or water. If it's too thin, simmer it for a few minutes longer.
- Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as Italian seasoning, oregano, or basil.
- Serve immediately: Fettuccine Alfredo is best served immediately, while the pasta is hot and the sauce is creamy. You can garnish the dish with grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, or cracked black pepper.
Conclusion:
Fettuccine Alfredo is a classic pasta dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a creamy, flavorful sauce that will coat the pasta perfectly. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or a weeknight meal, Fettuccine Alfredo is sure to be a hit.
