Fettuccini Alfredo

This is the recipe that converted me to pasta.  Prior to having this dish, I didn't like anything cream-based or containing pasta (which was probably a good thing for my waist line).  Our good friends, Alan & Liz Ricker, made this for dinner one night, and we were hooked!  The Ricker's are our "foodie friends," and we have enjoyed many wonderful meals together. 

The measurements are a bit imprecise - but isn't that how all fantastic recipes are?


Fettuccine Alfredo
Recipe from Liz Ricker

Ingredients:
  • 2/3-1 carton (pint) of heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2-3/4 container of fresh parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 stick of butter
  • 2 cups cubed chicken
  • 1/2 box fetuccini noodles
  • 1 cup frozen broccoli florets
  • salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
  1. Get your noodles cooking.
  2. In a sauce pan on med heat, melt the butter; add the whipping cream. Let the sauce come to a boil, lower the heat and add the cheese. Stir it as it melts (I added the broccoli here and covered the pan to let the heat cook the broccoli). 
  3. I usually add some salt and pepper, just a little bit, though.
  4. Eat up...told you it was easy! Enjoy
