Fettuccini Alfredo
A Super Saucy Dish

If you want a healthy dish, click another… If you want something rich and luxurious on the tongue, you’ve found it! The original version, created at the Via della Scrofa in Rome, doesn’t have cream, it’s all about butter. The Americanized version has cream. Mine has BOTH!

1 cup Heavy Cream
2 Tbsps. Unsalted Butter
3/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
¼ tsp. Salt, of Pepper, and of Nutmeg
Pasta (Fettuccini is a classic) 2 servings.

Prepare pasta of choice.
Meanwhile, in a small cook pot, melt butter over medium heat. Turn to low, add cream and warm. Add cheese. As it softens, gently stir until melted. Add seasonings. Turn off heat.
Toss in drained pasta. Plate. Sprinkle a little more cheese over (if desired) and serve.
Optional Garnish: 3 Tbsps. fresh Parsley, chopped

Luxed Up:
Toss Garlic Buttered Shrimp over each pasta serving about 6-8 per person. To prepare, heat 1 Tbsp. butter and 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a frypan. Add cleaned shrimp, sauté until almost pink. Add 1 clove of minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute or until garlic becomes translucent not brown. Arrange shrimp over plated Alfredo Pasta.

Hi, I'm Marianne Hines. Most call me ANNiE. The nick is short and sweet and not at all like me. I’m 5’11” and happiest when there's sand between my toes, when I'm dirty, windblown, and adorned with the debris of whatever project I'm working on. I build, design,and create in many forms. I’ve spent most of my life in the Northwest. Twelve years ago I came to the southeast for love, that love is now my husband. I love London and Paris for the art, food, and architecture. I love Spring and Fall, mountains, untouched snow, the smell of a horse’s mane, the sound of paper dry leaves under foot, birds singing, reef snorkeling, flea market hunting, and cooking for friends who love to eat, to be loud, and to laugh.
