Fettuccine Alfredo
Ingredients:
1 box of Rotini (spiral pasta)
Garlic
1 stick of butter
1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
1 8oz pkg fresh Parmesan cheese
1 bundle (16 stocks) asparagus
First things first, start steaming the asparagus. This is the longest step and it takes about 20 minutes. Next boil your water and cook pasta. For the sauce: chop a few pieces of garlic and throw it in a sauce pan with about 2 Tbs butter. Only let the garlic cook until it just turns brown, about 45 seconds, and then add the rest of the butter. Once that is completely melted add the heavy whipping cream. Let the cream warm up and then start slowly adding the cheese. You can add more or less cheese depending on your preference. It's important you continually stir the sauce while it is cooking. Once the asparagus is done I chopped it up into small pieces. I pour the sauce over the pasta (which should be drained, obviously) and then mix it. Once the sauce is mixed I add the asparagus and mix some more.
This dinner is so quick and so delicious. We usually add a salad and some garlic bread! It's definitely not a healthy meal but it's soooo good!
