  1. Loved it!! I made as directed other than adding a little minced garlic and I used spinach fettuccine. Thanks Samanta for a great keeper. Made for ZWT4 Family Picks.
     
  2. Add Bacon Bits??????????
     
  3. First time I tried this I made as written. Delicious! 2nd time, I added a few things: When the butter had melted, I added a couple of minced garlic cloves, then added the cream. After adding the salt, pepper and nutmeg, I added about 20 medium peeled, deveined and cooked shrimp. I let it cook over low heat until the shrimp were heated and then added the cheese. Didn't know it at the time but I had run out of Parmesan cheese so used grated Cotija instead. This is the way Fettuccini Alfredo should be!!!
     
  4. We loved it!!!! I left out the nutmeg as I have tried that before and my family doesn't like that added to the fettuccini. But other than that and added about 1/4 more cream made as written. Would definitely make this again, delicious!!!! Thanks Samantha!!! Made for ZWT 2008.

I love http://peoplestring.com/?u=sshupe I get paid to read snail mail and email. It is an awesome free portal where you get paid for what you are already doing on the web. I live in Utah with my husband and son. They are my taste testers and are very happy that I love to cook. During the summer we camp and cook via dutch oven. My falls and springs are filled with canning. When I am actually working I do medical coding from home so I can take care of my son. One thing I appreciate about Zaar is it keeps me from saying. <a href="http://s169.photobucket.com/albums/u232/wahm_coder/?action=view&current=dinner.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u232/wahm_coder/dinner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z205/jubespage/BBB2b3small-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"width=100%> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg"> <img src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee177/pelysma/ssb08banner_300.jpg">
