Fettocine Alfredo

For some reason I am drawn to Italian food. I love the cheesy look of all the things they cook. I am also a huge fan of noodles and pasta. That's why here's another Italian noodle post. This is actually a really quick and easy meal. So if you're ever in a hurry or want to just cook something fast, this is the recipe. I found this recipe over at Pioneer Woman's website.




The downside of this food is it is SOOOOO SUPER FATTENING! Stay away from it if you don't want to add 10 pounds to your butt.

Serving size: 2-4 people

Ingredients:
1 stick of butter
1 cup of HEAVY cream
2 cups of parmesan cheese, grated.
1 bag of fettucine.
Some salt and ground pepper.

Instructions:
1. Cook the fettucine noodles in a pot of boiling water. Add a teaspoon of salt to the water.
2. Melt the butter in the saucepan on medium-high heat.
3. Once the butter is melted, pour in the heavy cream and stir to mix.
4. Season the mixture with the salt and pepper.
5. Sprinkle the cheese on the plates and pour in the warm butter and cream mixture once they are boiling.
5. Don't stir the cheese and cream mixture. Let it sit for a few minutes.
6. Drain the noodles once they are cooked.
7. Immediately pour in the noodles when they are still hot into the plate with the other ingredients.
8. You can toss the noodles and the ingredients with the tongs or just use your spoon and fork.
9. Sprinkle some pepper and some more parmesan cheese on top of the noodles.
