Hi Constance,
We love Alfredo and I have made your recipe before, but I don’t believe I left a comment. My husband made bread to go with the fettuccine and it was all delicious!
Thank you Lavenia! I’m so glad your family has enjoyed it :)
Hi Constance,
Fettuccine Alfredo is something new for me and it is really convincing recipe. It looks creamy, I think because of Parmesan cheese right? And that's what I want in pasta too thick! I will try this next weekend for my family for our dinner, I'm sure they like it too.
Constance, Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, I hope I can perfect your Fettuccine Alfredo recipe! So I can suggest it also to my friends.
Question Constance, What if I don't have Parmesan cheese? What other cheese can I use for my Fettuccine Alfredo?
Thanks a lot!

I love a fettuccine Alfredo! It's my absolute favorite meal with a fresh loaf of Italian bread, Ceaser salad and a bottle of Chianti! This can also be used as a base sauce to add to and build other sauces. Add pureed basil with pine nuts and you have pesto sauce, add some diced tomatoes and you have a nice garlic rose or whisk in lemon juice prior to the boil point and you just made a killer lemon garlic cream sauce that would go great on fish and chicken. All good stuff! Now I'm hungry:) Thanks Constance
