Fettuccine Alfredo
This is so delicious! The sauce can be used on anything you want and you can add salmon or chicken to make it a main dish. The marinated veggies are surprisingly delicious. My friend, Kerrin, just taught me how to prepare the Alfredo sauce in my Vita mix--super easy! Thanks Kerrin!
Recipe:
Marinate tomatoes and cucumber pieces in creamy Italian dressing, just enough to coat or cover, overnight or for a few hours. Cook pasta according to directions in the recipe or on the box. Stir in Alfredo sauce below and then toss the drained veggies in.
Alfredo Sauce:
6 Tbs butter
2 C heavy cream
1 scant ½ tsp salt
Fresh ground pepper to taste
3 large cloves garlic, pressed or minced
¾ C grated fresh Romano cheese or 4 oz cream cheese
¾ C grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1 shallot (optional)
1 Tbs chopped fresh parsley and fresh basil (optional)
1-2 Tbs flour (optional)
Melt butter, garlic and shallot on low heat. Add cream, parsley, salt and pepper. Add cheeses, stir until melted. If you want a thicker sauce, mix flour with a little milk and whisk into sauce. Continue heating a couple more minutes. You can serve this with grilled or broiled chicken or salmon if desired. Or, if you have a Vita mix you can saute the shallot and garlic in the butter, then add everything except the parsley and basil to the blender container and blend on high for approximately 5 minutes or use the hot soup setting. Stir the parsley and basil in or sprinkle it on top of each serving.
