Winter time = comfort food. And so I’m sharing our go-to recipe for one of the most classic comfort foods on the planet. Pasta.
FETTUCCINE ALFREDO
1/3 c. half & half
1 Tbsp. butter
4 oz. dried fettuccine
1/3 c. grated Parmesan cheese
Black pepper to taste
Nutmeg to taste
optional: chicken breast
optional: broccoli, mushrooms
……….
Allow half & half and margarine to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cook fettuccine. Drain and return to warm saucepan; add half & half, butter, and Parmesan. Toss gently until well coated. If desired, add cooked vegetables and cooked cooked chicken (we once marinated ours in Caesar dressing before cooking on the grill and it was really good). Transfer to warm serving dish. Sprinkle with pepper and nutmeg. Yield 3-4 servings.












[...] Oh, and … what’s that you say? I’ve been neglecting what?? Oh, right! The beloved Recipes section. I know. Kinda sad that the last thing I posted was a Breakfast Burrito recipe in October. But I’m making it up to you today with a classic and a favorite: Fettuccine Alfredo. [...]
Thanks for a new recipe. I love fettucine alfredo but I thought it was hard to make. I signed up for e-mealz and I’m loving that too, but not always using all 7 meals so I need some fillers.
I’m always looking for a good white sauce! YUM!!!
This looks super yummy!!! Just wondering is Half and Half is milk or cream? We don’t have that in our little county called Australia
Half & half is a cream…
Just like its name, Half & Half is meant to be half cream, half milk. It normally has a lot less fat than cream. Here’s a resource that provides % of fat for each: http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/dairy-products/whats-the-difference-halfandhalf-light-cream-heavy-cream-and-whipping-cream-073203
Thanks for the recipe, Becky!
