Seafood Fettucine Alfredo

Submitted by luvbeingamom

"This recipe is a sweeter alfredo sauce, not garlicky. My husband and children love it and it is very versatile for the seafood you like and have on hand. Definitely a go-to dinner! NOT HEART HEALTHY! Sauce will come together by the time you pasta is done cooking..."

directions

1. Cook pasta as per package directions.

4. Once all half-and-half is added, lower heat to med low. Stir frequently, but constant is not required.
