FETTUCCINE ALFREDO V
The absolute best Alfredo sauce. You do not want to use a grated parmesan that you buy on a shelf. When you cook with that type, your Alfredo goes from a sauce to a gooey mess. You want to buy a very good and very hard parmesan in triangle form. Also, make sure the cream doesn't boil too much or there will not be enough liquid to make the Alfredo sauce smooth.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add fettucine pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
- In a large skillet melt the butter and add the chopped garlic. Cook on low for about 5 minutes, stirring often, making sure not to burn the garlic.
- Pour about a 1/4 cup of the heavy cream into a small bowl. Add the egg yolk and beat together; put aside. Pour the remaining cream into the frying pan. Increase the heat to medium-high. As the cream starts to boil, mix rapidly using a whisk. Slowly add the cream/egg mixture. You do not want the egg to curdle. Continue whisking until well blended.
- Add 1 cup of the Parmesan cheese and continue to mix the cream. Pour in the remaining Parmesan and the parsley, mix until smooth. Immediately remove from stove. Serve over cooked pasta.

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!

Tips:
- Use fresh fettuccine noodles. Fresh noodles have a better texture and flavor than dried noodles. If you can't find fresh fettuccine, you can use dried fettuccine noodles, but be sure to cook them according to the package directions.
- Make sure the butter and cream are cold. This will help the sauce to thicken and become creamy. If the butter and cream are too warm, the sauce may become oily.
- Don't boil the cream. Bring the cream to a simmer over low heat, but do not boil it. Boiling the cream will cause it to curdle.
- Add the cheese gradually. Add the cheese to the sauce a little at a time, stirring constantly. This will help the cheese to melt smoothly and evenly.
- Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes, if desired.
- Serve the sauce immediately. Fettuccine Alfredo is best served immediately after it is made. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so if you need to make it ahead of time, be sure to reheat it gently before serving.
Conclusion:
Fettuccine Alfredo is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy, cheesy sauce and tender noodles, it's the perfect comfort food for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
