Simple Fettucini with Garlic & Cheese
It is important that you use a good quality fresh cheese and grate it yourself - do not use the ready grated cheese for this recipe. I serve this with crisp crunchy rolls & a fresh green salad. Great lunch or dinner
Ingredients:
1 lb fettuccine
1/2 lb fresh italian cheese, you grate it (Fontinella, romano, locatella or parmesan)
4 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 cup light cream
3 cloves garlic (or more)
1 teaspoon dried parsley
salt & pepper
Makes 4-6 servings
Cook the fettucini according to instructions.
While the noodles are cooking melt the butter in a skillet and saute the garlic for 1 minute, add parsley and continue sauting for 4 additional minutes (use medium low heat you do not want to burn the butter etc).
Add cream slowly and simmer 5 minutes.
When the noodles are done drain well and return them to the pot.
Pour the cream mixture over the noodles, add the cheese& toss.
Serve piping hot.
