Blackened Chicken Fettuccine

Submitted by southern chef in lo

"This is a divine dish. It’s great for a dinner party or a romantic dinner. It not only tastes great, but it’s wonderful to look. Please use a high quality parmesan cheese to top it off with (NOT the stuff in the can). For a full dinner, serve with a Caesar salad, bread sticks, and a great wine."

Very good. I have made this several times and just realized I hadn't rated it yet. Thanks for a great recipe.

This was delicious! Not only did I use fresh Parmesan, I also used fresh garlic & fresh (store-bought) fettuccine - however, I had no ground red pepper (??) so I used cayenne. Since I was cooking a romantic dining room dinner for two, I scaled the recipe accordingly. For any chefs who want to do the same, 1/3 tbsp = 1 tsp and 1/3 tsp = 3 pinches. Thanx Recipe Fairy!
