FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Alfredo means tossed in cream and butter . This is an all time favourite in my house . It is a filling main dish . Easily made with dried fettuccini pasta OR you can use my cheat sheet for the perfect pasta Purchase a packet of fresh lasagne sheets ( refrigerated section of the supermarket ) Unfold the lasagne sheets , lay them out on your prep bench and slice them length wise into ribbons . So let's get started . Place 2 tbs of butter / marg in a saucepan with 200ml of cream . Bring the mixture to a slow boil , reduce heat and simmer for till mixture thickens a little a cuople of minutes . Put the fettuccine in salted boiling water cook until tender but still holding shape . Drain the pasta , place it back in the saucepan and pour over the cream sauce . Stir with a wooden spoon until the pasta is well coated . Now add add another 100 ml of cream , 100 gm of grated cheese and a sprinkle of nutmeg and 150 gmof bacon pieces , season with salt and pepper I always add 2tbs of minced garlic over a low heat . Divide the fettucchini between '`warmed serving bowls ',sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and extra grated cheese. Enjoy with warmed garlic bread .
