Fettuccine Alfredo
Fettuccine Alfredo is a classic, if somewhat recent, Italian dish which was adapted and popularized all over the United States. It's absolutely deadly, being a combination of butter, cream and
cheeses. If you don't have a heart attack after eating a plate, consider yourself lucky. But well made, it can be absolutely delicious.
This sauce was that definitely out of this world. I followed the original recipe but added garlic and Asiago cheese, per the recommendations of some reviewers. The garlic was really essential. My neighboring grocery store did not have fetuccine, however, so I served the sauce with spaghetti. I'm not sure if spaghetti just was a poor substitute for fetuccine, but the sauce was much better by itself than when mixed in with the pasta.
