Homemade Fettuccine Alfredo

Serves 6

Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
8 oz. package of cream cheese
1 pint heavy cream
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt
black pepper
2/3 cup grated parmesan cheese (preferably fresh)
1 lb fettuccine, prepared as directed

I add about 3 chicken breast cut in small pieces and browned in a little butter until cooked through to my sauce at the end. The recipe doesn't call for chicken but you can add if you want

Directions

1In a medium saucepan, melt butter.

2When butter is melted, add cream cheese.

3When the cream cheese is softened, add heavy cream.

4Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

5Simmer for 15-20 minutes over low heat, stirring constantly.

6Remove from heat and stir in parmesan.

7Serve over hot fettucine noodles.


I made this for dinner tonight and it was a HIT!! It tasted so great!! I was very pleased with myself and the ease of the sauce!! Pair this with a fresh tossed salad and some garlic bread and you have a Great and Hearty Meal!
