Fettucine Alfredo Review - Lorraine - 05-08-2008
From the Pata Book. I searched, and didn't see where it had been reviewed. so.
This was really simple, and tasty. Really easy to make, do the prep ahead of time. I made it while grilling chicken. The only thing I did different was add in a few chopped slices of bacon for one person. (OK, so it turned into Carbonara).
Interesting, it also held up well during dinner. I'm made some that turn into a mass of glue in 15 minutes. This one didn't. I cut all the meat of the leftover chicken thghs, I'll add it to the leftover pasta tomorrow, and that will be dinner for one who requested it. I will definitely make this one again.

Thanks Lorraine! I was struggling with what to make the kids for dinner. I had everything on hand. Also made it more a carbonara to make it a whole meal. Browned a little bacon and sauted the chicken with the bacon. Had some allready cooked bow tie pasta in the refer - just tossed that with the butter then added frozen peas, made the rest of the sauce and combined with the chicken and bacon. Was perfect and very tasty.
Good thing my kids are skinny!

Good Morning, How do I find the recipe. I've been searching everywhere and can't seem to find it. Thanks, Joan

A lot of the time the recipes come from Cuisine at Home magazine or their special publications. Frequently someone will post them for those who don't have the magazine, or the special publication being talked about. Some people can access the archives and others are really good typists.
