Fettuccine

Hello!

Hope everyone had a great weekend:) Our’s has been fun. I love having Momma here.  Yesterday, for her birthday, we took Momma out to lunch then we went to the Painted Penguin:) We lovelovelove the Painted Penguin. When Paul’s parents were here, we took them there as well:)  If you aren’t familiar with it, you go and pick out a piece of ceramic and paint it:)  While our pieces dried, we did a little shopping.  Yesterday, we took Momma to Ikea for her very first Ikea experience:) Can I say how much I love that place?  We even ate lunch at their little cafe and was impressed – good and cheap.  Afterwards was ballet with Sarah and swim with MyMatthew;)  I’m sure Momma is worn out but still have a full week ahead!

The other night, I made fettuccine. Sarah and I about made ourselves sick. It’s not a light dish by any means.  I hope yall will give it a try Enjoy!!

OK, HERE’S What You Need:

12 oz fettuccine

3/4 cups butter (1  1/2 sticks)

1 cup whipping cream

1/4 tsp pepper

2 cups Parmesan (Don’t use the green shake stuff – use as fresh as possible:)

1 tsp cornstarch

2 T. parsley and chives (chopped into small pieces – I use my kitchen shears)

HERE’S What You Do:

Boil your fettuccine noodles in salted water.

For the sauce – melt your butter in a medium sauce pan.  Whisk in your whipping cream and pepper. Stir often until the mixture becomes thickened. It doesn’t take long.  Gradually stir in your parmesan and cook until it’s melted.  Whisk in the cornstarch and stir until slightly thickened – about 3ish minutes.

Drain the pasta and  add it to the cheese sauce. Serve it up with more Parmesan and sprinkle with chives and parsley:)
