Fettuccine Alfredo! Now this is my daughter's Francesca favorite dish!
As well as another family favorite!
and...
I do believe that this is the meal that got my husband to propose to me ~ seriously!
and...
It was the first thing I EVER learned to make!
All you need is...
- 1 lb of your favorite Fettuccine pasta COOKED according to the package (I like using the green & white colored pasta to give the dish some extra color)
{for the sauce}
- 1 pint of heavy cream (no substitute)
- 1 stick of salted butter
- 1 tsp of ground nutmeg
- 3/4 tsp of white pepper
and
- grated Pecorino Romano cheese to taste
Heat the heavy cream, butter, nutmeg, and white pepper in a sauce pan and stir. Your sauce is done once butter is 100% melted. Top over cooked pasta and toss within the pasta. Add the Pecorino Romano cheese on top to taste and there you have it!
Seriously ~ it is that easy!
As I stated earlier in this post, this is the first thing I ever learned to cook home made and after seeing the recipe, you can see why ~ it is really that easy and oh so tasty! And seeing how a dish of this famous pasta out can cost an average of $14 - making this meal at home is simple, easy, and very inexpensive!
Now...as for the proposal...my husband has admitted to me that after having this "the only" homemade dish I could make, he truly believe that I could cook and knew right than & there that I was the gal for him. Unlucky for him, this was the only dish I knew how to make...all those years ago.
I guess you can say I have come along way since those years living in my little apartment in Old Towne Manassas many, MANY moons ago....
