yummm...

so it was my turn to make dinner today and i decided on pretty much the most fattening thing you could ever eat... olive garden fettuccine alfredo! it was fantastic! seriously... mom and dad were raving! austin was a little quiet today but even he was pretty vocal about how good it was! so... without further adieu...

olive garden fettuccine alfredo

(courtesy of topsecretrecipes.com! check it out! amazing!)

1/2 cup of butter

2 cloves of garlic, minced

2 cups of heavy cream

1/8 tsp of ground black pepper

a pinch of salt

1/2 cup of parmesan cheese

12 ounce box of fettuccine pasta

melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium/low heat.

add the garlic, cream, pepper and salt, and bring mixture to a simmer. turn the heat down if the mixture reaches a rapid boil or it could boil over. you just want a simmer. add the cheese, and continue to simmer sauce for 8 minutes or until thick. [mine turned out a little runny but we were thinking about it and we're pretty sure olive garden's is kinda runny too.]

while sauce cooks, bring 4 to 6 quarts of water to a boil and add the pasta. cook pasta for about 12 minutes or until done, then drain it.

spoon pasta into serving plates with alfredo sauce poured over the top.

so... it's pretty much amazing! it's so good you know there is absolutely no nutritional value! but man oh man... try it!

ps- i don't know why... but it's not showing the way it's supposed to... it won't show you my new paragraphs. sorry!
