Fettuccini Alfredo

Fettuccine Alfredo is an Italian dish that mainly includes noodles,Parmesan,(opt.)shrimp, and(for decoration) basil. French Bread can often be used as a side dish with the fettuccine Alfredo, many chefs may add butter and seasoning as a topper for the bread to get the rich Italian flavor that french bread holds.

Be sure to check out robbie34's World Travel website to read more about Rome, Italy.

Ingredients

  • 24 ounces dry fettuccine pasta
  • 1 cup butter
  • 3/4 pint heavy cream
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 dash garlic salt
  • 3/4 cup grated Romano cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt butter into cream over low heat. Add salt, pepper and garlic salt. Stir in cheese over medium heat until melted; this will thicken the sauce.
  3. Add pasta to sauce. Use enough of the pasta so that all of the sauce is used and the pasta is thoroughly coated. Serve immediately.
You can purchase french bread in any local grocery store.To create the sauce for the french bread you will need melted butter(1 stick), garlic seasoning(1-2 tsp.), and some may add balsamic vinegar(depends on how big the slice is for the measurement) for more flavor.
