Pasta!

Hello All! So as I've said in a previous post, I am a serious carb junkie! My favorite of these wonderful starches is definitely pasta without a doubt! Maybe it's the Italian in me  :) One of my favorite pasta dishes is the classic Fettuccine Alfredo. Now I must say I think I'm a good cook but I admit my father (who is Irish/German) makes a killer Alfredo sauce! So here today I am sharing his recipe for this awesome, easy classic. I happen to like grilled chicken with my Alfredo so feel free to serve it with or without it :) BUON APPETITO!

Bobby's Alfredo: For 1lb Fettuccine
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1 stick butter (I like to cut it down a bit to 1/2)
5-8 oz. Parmiggiano Reggiano cheese (use the best you can get)

Directions:
*Boil water for pasta*
1) In large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic & sautee until very lightly brown but not burned.
2) Add cream & raise heat to med-high. Bring to bubble. Reduce to simmer & add cheese.
3) Simmer until slightly thickened.
4) When pasta is done, toss in sauce & serve.
