Fettuccine Alfredo



Fettuccine Alfredo is such an easy dish to make, that's what I love about it so much. My boyfriend doesn't really enjoy pasta as much as I; He'd rather eat a much of sweets and gummy bears. He's a big fan with sweets like I. That why I was surprised to hear him as me to make Fettuccine Alfredo for him today.

Didn't take long at all to make. It's pretty easy, simple and fast to make. Came out really good and creamy, and my boyfriend was really satisfied with it. I think he ate a bit to much though... He was so full that he couldn't get out of bed! His excuse was, "It was just so good..."




Recipe

18 ounces fettuccine pasta
2 1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
12 tbsp. butter (1 1/2 cups)
2 cups parmesan cheese
2 tsps. grated lemon zest
Pinch of grated nutmeg
Ground white pepper
Salt


1. Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling water until tender, but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally. About 4 minutes. Drain.

2. Stir 2 cups of heavy cream and lemon juice in a heavy large skillet to blend. Add the butter and cook over medium heat just until the butter melts, stirring occasionally. About 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

3. Add the pasta to the cream mixture and toss. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream, and parmesan to the cream sauce in the skillet. Add the lemon zest, nutmeg, salt, and white pepper. Toss the pasta mixture over low heat until the sauce thickens. About 1 minute. Serve.

I love fettuccine alfredo. As a Italian immigrant from Brooklyn we kids were raised on pasta with sauce. Other than that about the only thing my mother would fix was white bread with jelly (which I thought was a real treat).

Unfortuantely when I had to beat a hasty retreat to Florida (to get away from my fourth ex-husband) I met a guy called "Big Bear" who hates pasta in any form. He insults me by calling it "wop food".

So now I have to fix pasta when the Bear is out fishing or running around with his beer buddies.

Thanks for reminding me about my wonderful heritage.

Add in a little bit of chicken, and this is my husband's favorite meal!

I apologize for my husband, Chuck's behavior. He's posting under the screen name "chiffonade" on hundreds of sites and I see that yours has been victimized. Please pay him no mind.
