Fettuccine Al-FRED-O Sauce!!!

Tonight I went over to Krista's parents house to cook one of my favorite dishes, Fettuccine Al-Fred-O (clever right), but this meal is simple and has a per plate cost of less than 2$. Most Italian Restaurants will charge you a pretty penny for this dish, when it can be made fresh and taste delicious at home! Well lets get into the ingredients and the recipe.

Fettuccine Al-Fred-O

Fresh Basil!!!

Again, this is a simple recipe and you can add little touches, I have seen green pea's and all sorts of vegetables added to this and it can be used on chicken or pork chops as a sauce. Just remember to make it your own and It's all to eat!!!


"Suo Tutto Mangiare"!!!

Recipe Ingredients

Fettuccine

It is very important when your cooking any kind of pasta or spaghetti, that you add salt to the boiling water, by adding salt you add flavor to the water which in turn adds flavor to the pasta, and you also raise the boiling point of the water, making your water boil at a higher temperature which lets your pasta cook better. It is a helpful tip and really can make the difference between a good dish and a GREAT dish!

Al-FRED-O Sauce

Adding the basil!

For this sauce make sure you have your Ingredients on hand and ready to go, First set your temperature to medium high, then in a pot place all of your Sour Cream to cote the bottom, then cut your Cream Cheese into 1/4s and add each separately mixing the Cream Cheese until it is melted into each other. After the sauce is melted into each other you can start to add a spoonful at a time of the Ricotta Cheese. Keep Mixing into each other, while mixing you can add your fresh basil and Salt & Pep to taste. Let sit for 5-10 minutes on low before serving and there it is perfect Al-Fred-O sauce ready to be enjoyed with La Famigilia!!!
