I found this recipe on the internet while looking for a killer alfredo dish. It's fantastic and easy to make! The lemon pepper is what I consider to be the secret ingredient. Wow! Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter (1 stick) |
3/4 cup cream cheese (1 package) |
3/4 cup half-and-half cream |
1 -2 pinch garlic salt (or to taste) |
1 -2 pinch lemon pepper (or to taste) |
1 (16 ounce) package fettuccine |
10 -12 whole baby carrots (optional) |
2 stalks fresh broccoli (just the florretts) (optional) |
1 yellow squash, sliced (optional) |
20 large pre- cooked shrimp, thawed (optional) |
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of water with a pinch of salt to a rolling boil.
2. In the meantime, melt butter & cream cheese in half & half in a small sauce pan on medium heat stirring constantly. This could be done in a microwave as well. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Add garlic and lemon pepper.
3. Cook fettucine according to the directions on the box & combine with sauce.
4. For a nice kick, add shrimp or grilled chicken slices. I usually add steamed broccoli florrets, yellow squash slices and baby carrots too.
5. Searve with your favorite wine and garlic bread. Enjoy!
6. Hint: A salad spinner works really well for drying your freshly washed veggies and thawed shrimp.
