TO DIE FOR FETTUCCINE ALFREDO
This recipe is from Erin M Seelert from Allrecipes. It's the best around however I have altered her recipe just a little so there's a little more sauce-I like extra to dip bread sticks in. It's very creamy but the butter does break it down when reheated but if you add some milk or cream to it it perks right back up. I make it and put it all in a crockpot and keep on warm for neighborhood parties and such-it keeps it from breaking down fast. I usually make it an hour or so ahead of time and by the time I get where I'm going it's perfect. If you feel that it's not thickening up fast enough turn heat up. I'ave also added shrimp to this recipe and it was great!!!

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, real butter, and heavy cream will make your Alfredo sauce rich and flavorful.
- Don't overcook the sauce: Alfredo sauce should be cooked gently over low heat until it is thickened and creamy. Overcooking will cause the sauce to become grainy and separate.
- Add the pasta to the sauce: Once the sauce is cooked, add the pasta and stir until it is evenly coated. This will help the pasta to absorb the flavor of the sauce.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh parsley, basil, or chives will add a pop of color and flavor to your Alfredo sauce.
