Fettuccine Alfredo

I tried a new recipe from Pinterest the other night and it was awesome!  Rylan and Mackenzie even liked it and asked for seconds!

One Pan Fettuccine Alfredo
Ingredients

• 8 oz of uncooked, dry fettuccine
• 1 cup of heavy cream
• 2 cups of water
• 4 tablespoons of butter
• 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
• freshly ground pepper to taste
• one clove of garlic, peeled
• 2 cups of freshly shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Combine cream, water, butter, salt, pepper, garlic clove, and pasta in a pan.
2. Bring to a boil and stir.
3. Reduced heat to a low simmer and cover.
4. Let pan simmer, covered, 15-20 minutes, or until pasta is tender.
5. Remove pan from heat, remove garlic clove and stir in cheese.
6. Serve immediately.

Apparently the key is to use freshly shredded parmesan, which I had never done before.  I bought a 5 oz. block and it was almost exactly 2 cups when I shredded it.  It really was so good, I wouldn't dare try it any other way.  We added pieces of chicken we cooked on the stove and it was the perfect meal.  We tried it another night adding peas and I didn't like it as much, I would rather eat the peas separately.  Give this recipe a try, it really doesn't get much easier!
