CREAMY FETTUCCINE ALFREDO
This a a very creamy alfredo sauce. I found it in my sister's cookbook when I was looking for recipes one day. She had never tried it and doesn't know where she got it from. I decided to give it a try and haven't stopped making it since. It is one of my husbands favorite recipes I make. I also have a few other fans in the family too. It is very easy and quick. Try adding chicken and shrimp to the alfredo sauce.It's delicious! I gave you the details below. I made some changes to the way I make the recipe so I will just give you the directions for how I make it, not what the recipe says.

Steps:
- Go ahead and start your boiling water for the fettuccine noodles and let them cook while you are preparing the sauce.
- **This is the way I make it: In a large saucepan, on LOW to MEDIUM heat, begin melting the cream cheese first and then add the butter so it will not burn. Once the cream cheese is almost melted, add the milk. Once the milk gets warm or hot, add the freshly grated parmesan cheese. As the mixture thickens, add more milk to the amount of your desire, probably an additional 1/2 cup of milk, maybe even 1 additional cup of milk. Be careful or you will add too much and it will not thicken anymore. Keep stirring as you are simmering on LOW heat until smooth.
- ***I like to add chicken and shrimp to the fettuccine mixture too. (In a separate saucepan, cook the chicken with some olive oil, Mrs. Dash original, Lawry's garlic salt blend and salt and pepper. Once the chicken is nearly cooked go ahead and add the shrimp since it doesn't take as long to cook. After the chicken and shrimp are cooked completely, add it to the alfredo mixture. Serve the sauce with chicken and shrimp in one serving dish and your fettucine noodles in a different dish. Enjoy!
NO-CREAM ALFREDO SAUCE
Traditional Roman fettucine Alfredo doesn't contain a drop of cream or milk, so whether you have none in your refrigerator or you are a traditionalist, this is the recipe for you. Just because there's no cream, however, doesn't mean it isn't over the top with richness and flavor.

Tips:
- Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest ingredients possible, especially the cream and Parmesan cheese. Fresh ingredients will give your sauce a richer, more flavorful taste.
- Good Quality Butter: Use a good quality unsalted butter for the sauce. This will help to prevent the sauce from becoming greasy.
- Cook the Pasta Al Dente: Cook the pasta al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help to prevent the pasta from becoming mushy in the sauce.
- Use a Wide Pan: Use a wide pan to cook the sauce. This will allow the sauce to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming thick and clumpy.
- Don't Boil the Sauce: Do not boil the sauce, as this will cause the cream to curdle. Simmer the sauce gently over low heat.
- Season to Taste: Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg or cayenne pepper for a little extra flavor.
- Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Garnish the finished dish with fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
