Seefood Fettuccine Alfredo 438cal

A light way to have that yummy Alfredo Sauce over long fettucine noodles and some seafood on your fork. MMMMmmmm. My dear sister, I hope you like this one. This makes a big pot, so invite some friends over to try it. This recipe is light, so if you are looking to add some inches to your waist, this is the wrong recipe. Also, if you are not a seafood fan, you could substitute chicken for the seafood and make Chicken Alfredo instead. If you can buy your seafood fresh, use it the same day or at the latest the next day. If you buy frozen, remember to thaw out in the fridge the day before. Just follow the directions on the bag. To complete your meal add a salad, broccoli on the side, and some crusty bread.
