FETTUCCINE ALFREDO 
1 lb. fettuccine
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 1/2 cups light cream or half & half
1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon pepper
pinch of salt

Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon salt when water is boiling.

Add fettuccine. Cook uncovered 10-12 minutes (or according to package directions). Drain; cover and set aside.

In a large skillet, melt butter. Saut chopped garlic over medium heat for 1 minute.

Stir in 1 1/2 cups cream or half & half (half & half = half milk/half cream).

Cook over medium heat 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly. When hot, stir in fettuccine. Add remaining cream or half and half, Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper. Stir to mix well.

After 1-2 minutes, when pasta is hot, serve accompanied by extra cheese for sprinkling, if desired. We garnished ours with edible flowers (optional).

I always add 1 teaspoon of nutmeg. It is the secret ingredient that makes my fettuccine so delicious.

It turned out very nice. I doubled the recipe, added nutmeg and 3 cubes chicken boullion and heated all the cream and melted the cheese by adding a little at a time before mixing in the pasta. Love it.

My husband said this was the best he had ever had, even from a restaurant. The only change I made was to omit the pepper and salt, and substitute a sprinkling of allspice at the very end.

This was AMAZING :) It was simple and easy and my family and I loved it! I made a two small changes. I used milk instead of cream (because I ran out) and added some cut up chick breasts.

I made this for my [new] husband and he LOVED it! I added shrimp. It tasted almost exactly like Red Lobster's Shrimp Linguini Alfredo. Excellent! Thanks a bunch!

Great recipe. I used soul seasoning instead of salt and tripled the garlic. It is a POWERFULLY GOOD sauce.

This was so incredibly easy and so delicious! I didn't have any garlic or even garlic powder in my house tonight but I did have dried onion flakes so I used that. It turned out to be even better than I could have hoped! I will actually keep using that instead of the garlic.. Was the prefect recipe- Thank you!!

This is my original starter but I add chicken and mushrooms that are sauteed with garlic. It is amazing. Can add some fresh vegitables to it as well.
