Keeping
meals simple and affordable, yet tasty is my mantra these days. This recipe certainly fits the bill. It is also perfect for company.
Mushroom Fettuccine Alfredo
1 pound fettuccine or other pasta, cooked
and drained
6 to 8 mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 Tbs. butter
1 Tbs. olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp. dried basil
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated parmesan
In the same pot you cooked your pasta in
melt butter and add olive oil. Saute
mushrooms with garlic and basil. Do not
burn your garlic. Once mushrooms have
cooked down add cream and parmesan. Stir
continuously until sauce begins to bubble.
Remove from heat. Toss in pasta
and serve immediately.
I like
to change it up by using Farfalle or other fun shaped pastas from time to time
in place of the standard fettuccine pasta.
This
recipe makes a wonderful no meat main dish paired with a nice tossed green
salad and a crunchy baguette or as a side dish with nicely grilled steak. Add a nice glass of wine, if you like to,
make it a very special meal.
