FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

i think this is better than olive garden's- try it and let me know if you agree!

you'll need:

-1 pint heavy cream
-1 stick of butter (=1/2 cup)
-2 or 3 tablespoons cream cheese
-3/4 cup parmesan cheese (real shredded parmesan,not powder)
-1 teaspoon garlic powder or garlic salt
-salt and pepper to taste
-fettuccini noodles (i eyeball this)

in a saucepan, combine butter, heavy cream and cream cheese (sounds delicious already, no?). simmer until all is melted and mixed well- DO NOT allow it to boil. add the parmesan cheese and garlic powder. simmer for 15 min on low heat, stirring often. again, DO NOT boil it. the sauce separates when it boils.

pour the sauce over your cooked noodles and toss together until everything is coated in the deliciousness you just created FROM SCRATCH. salt and pepper if desired (i find salt isn't really needed, but pepper is lovely)

eat.

swoon.

eat more.

you're welcome!
