Fettuccine Alfredo

Here's a little something to go with those Mozzarella Bites :)

Fettuccine Alfredo 
-1 pint Heavy Whipping Cream
-1 stick of Butter (not margarine!)
-8 ounces shredded Parmesan Cheese*
-2 or 3 (3, because I kinda sorta love garlic) garlic cloves, minced (you can use about a teaspoon of garlic powder instead if ya want)
-salt and pepper to taste
-pinch of nutmeg
-1 package of fettuccine noodles


Put the stick of butter and the minced garlic in a large pot over medium heat. Keep moving the butter around to make sure the garlic doesn't burn! When the butter is completely melted, add the heavy cream and whisk together. (This is usually a good time to get your pasta boiling! Make according to directions on the package or box.) Bring to a boil. Add cheese and reduce heat to low. Keep stirring to make sure the cheese melts evenly and doesn't burn on the bottom of the pot. Once cheese is completely melted, season with nutmeg, salt and pepper. I usually add a pretty good amount of pepper, but we love our pepper here :) Once pasta is done, you can add the noodles to the pot of sauce if you want them combined, or you can just spoon sauce over your pasta!
*I think the best parmesan cheese for this recipe is the wedge of it that you actually shred yourself. You can use whatever kind you want, but I think the wedge just melts and tastes best.
Add cooked chicken or shrimp to the sauce before seasoning if ya want! To make your life incredibly easy, put a couple chicken breasts in the crock pot with some chicken broth and Italian seasoning 4-ish hours before you make dinner. Then all you have to do is take it out and either cut it up or shred it.
