HOMEMADE FETTUCCINE ALFREDO
This easy Alfredo sauce is creamy, comforting and coats fettuccine noodles in fine fashion. This recipe is wonderful as is, but sometimes I like to add sliced fresh mushrooms and black olives that have been sautéed in butter and garlic. -Jo Gray, Park City, Montana

Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese and heavy cream will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce.
- Don't overcook the pasta. Cook it until it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and won't hold the sauce well.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the sauce will be thinner and less rich.
- You can add other ingredients to the sauce, such as cooked chicken, shrimp, or vegetables. Get creative and make it your own!
- Serve the fettuccine Alfredo immediately. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so it's best to enjoy it while it's hot and creamy.
