Fettuccini Alfredo


You will need: (serves 4)

1 lb fettuccine pasta (cooked al dente)
1 stick butter
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Grana Padano parmesan cheese
1 tsp ground nutmeg
3/4 cup fresh flat leaf parsley (minced)
salt and pepper to taste

In a saucepan, melt your butter at medium heat (do not burn). Add the garlic and saute.  Add the cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cheese and the nutmeg ( make sure you don't let your cheese stick to the bottom of the pan - keep a good stir going). Add the parsley and the cooked pasta and some salt and fresh ground pepper to taste and toss well to combine.

Shave some additional parm on top of each serving

Option:

Peas can give a nice sweetness to a typical alfredo sauce and also gives it nice color.  Before adding your pasta into the sauce, add in 3/4 cup of peas for a twist on this classic recipe.
