Fettuccine Alfredo

One of my many talents is the ability to whip up a batch of homemade fettuccine alfredo in about 20 minutes.  No Joke.

And because I think you all are awesome and should have this recipe in your repertoire- I'm sharing with you today!

SO good!

Fettuccine Alfredo

1 box fettuccine pasta
2 1/2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese
butter
2 tablespoons flour
salt and pepper
nutmeg

Start by boiling your pasta.  At the same time, begin your sauce by melting 2 tablespoons butter.  When melted add in flour to create a roux.  Cook on very low for just a minute.  When your flour and butter are combined, start to slowly add in your milk and then cream.

Cook your flour in melted butter to create a roux.

Slowly add in milk/cream for nice, thick sauce.

Finally, when you have a thick sauce- add in your parm cheese and salt and pepper to taste.  At this point, your pasta should be done.  So drain and set aside.

When your parm cheese is combined in your sauce, put one more tablespoon of butter on top and a good pinch of nutmeg.  Combine with your pasta.

Finish with butter & pinch of nutmeg.

Seriously- SO easy.  You can totally add cooked chicken or some veggies but we are purists and like it just the way it is.

Enjoy!
