Growing up and to this day my favorite dish was never the ever popular pizza, but a rich and creamy fettuccine Alfredo. It was my mom's creation and it was my birthday request every single year, including this one, where I prepared it and served it to my friends. There were many second servings had and it occurred to me that this great recipe should finally be shared. And the best part is, it's easy!
Ingredients (Serving 2-3 people)
1 brick cream cheese
1 brick Lactancia garlic butter
1/2-1 cup 2% Milk (depending on thickness desired)
1/2 tsp Salt
Fresh parsley to garnish
Fettuccine pasta or my favorite large pasta shells
Are you ready for this long list of instructions?
OK
Start by boiling water for your pasta. Then melt the garlic butter in a medium sized sauce pan. Once garlic has been melted completely add creme cheese, crush into butter with a whisk. It will still be clumpy until you add the milk. Start by whisking in the 1/2 cup of milk, mix it well until all the clumps are gone and you have a smooth creamy sauce. At this point you will be able to decide if you like it's consistency or if you'd like to add the other 1/2 cup of milk. The more milk you add, the less rich the sauce will be, which is a good thing for some. I've been adding more as the years go by :)
At some point during this process your water started boiling and you cooked your pasta, I going to go ahead and assume you know how to cook pasta for this one.
Put your pasta on a plate, add sauce on top and then garish with some fresh parley.
And that's it! You now have yourself a never fail, creamy & garlicky Alfredo that you and your guests will love!
Not my picture. I forgot to take some, but it looks the same
