• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup butter (1 stick)
• 3⁄4 cup cream cheese (1 package)
• 3⁄4 cup half-and-half cream
• 1 -2 pinch garlic salt (or to taste)
• 1 -2 pinch lemon pepper (or to Taste)

• 10 -12 whole baby carrots (optional)

directions

1. Bring a large pot of water with a pinch of salt to a rolling boil.
2. In the meantime, melt butter & cream cheese in half & half in a small sauce pan on medium heat stirring constantly. This could be done in a microwave as well. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Add garlic and lemon pepper.
3. Cook fettucine according to the directions on the box & combine with sauce.
4. For a nice kick, add shrimp or grilled chicken slices. I usually add steamed broccoli florrets, yellow squash slices and baby carrots too.
5. Searve with your favorite wine and garlic bread. Enjoy!
6. Hint: A salad spinner works really well for drying your freshly washed veggies and thawed shrimp.
