On Sunday evenings, we love getting together with family. Last Sunday was no exception. My little sister made a request for my Fettuccine Alfredo. I aim to please, so we made it Italian night at my house. I'm going to post four different recipes that I made that night, but on separate posts, so they are labeled correctly.
The first one is my Fettuccine Alfredo. I found it years ago in a restaurant's secret cookbook. It is supposedly Olive Garden's version. I tweeked it a little and my family has been enjoying it ever since. I make it on those nights that I don't have a lot of time because it comes together in the same amount of time as it takes to cook the noodles. Throw together a quick salad and you're good to go!
Fettuccine Alfredo
½ cup butter
2-3 T. flour
2 cups heavy cream
½ tsp. garlic powder
½ tsp. ground black pepper
1 (12oz) box fettuccine pasta
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour until smooth. Add the cream, garlic powder, and pepper, and simmer or 10-12 minutes, or until thick. At the same time, bring 4-6 quarts water to a boil and add the pasta. When sauce has reached your desired consistency, stir in the Parmesan cheese (let sauce sit off heat for a few minutes to thicken). When the pasta is cooked, drain and serve with sauce.
Results: Always a winner at my house! It's SO good if you are making a red sauce and you mix the two together...Heaven!
