Dads Fettuccine Alfredo Recipes

FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Drain. Stir 2 cups of the cream and the lemon juice in a heavy large skillet to blend. Add the butter and cook over medium heat just until the butter melts, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the pasta and toss. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of cream, and Parmesan to the cream sauce in the skillet. Add the lemon zest, nutmeg, salt, and white pepper. Toss the pasta mixture over low heat until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute.

DAD'S SEMI-HOMEMADE CHICKEN ALFREDO

Steps:

• Put on water for pasta to boil first. When I'm cooking for company, I like to use different shaped pasta; it's a bit more festive. Anything you like works well.
• Cut chicken breasts into small, bite-size pieces, and season chicken breast with season salt, lemon pepper, and garlic salt. Melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add chicken breast pieces and let them cook until white on both sides.
• Turn down to medium low, add teriayki sauce (I like to use the glaze/marinade, because it's a little thicker) and let chicken finish cooking while the teriayki is absorbed.
• Turn down to low, add the alfredo sauce and stir well to mix everything. Allow it to simmer until the pasta is ready. Drain the water from the pasta and add chicken and sauce mixture. Toss and mix well. Serve.
