Fettuccine Alfredo

Now that we are into the colder fall months (and nearing the freezing winter months) I enjoy creamy comfort foods even more. And it is always a plus that Steve loves Fettuccine Alfredo!

In the beginning of November, Steve and I were looking through the Cook with Campbell's website and came across their recipe for Fettuccine Alfredo - so naturally we had to try it.

The recipe is very simple and only has a few ingredients - always a good thing for us when we are coming home late from work and have only a little bit of time to make a tasty supper.

Here are the ingredients that their website suggests:

• 9 oz (255 g) fettuccine
• 1/4 cup (60 mL) white wine
• 1/2 tsp (2mL) cracked black pepper
• 1 carton (480 mL) Cambell's Stock First Cream stock
• 1 tsp (5mL) fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup (60mL) grated Parmesan cheese

And here is how they suggest you bring it all together:

1. Cook fettuccine according to instructions on box, set aside.
2. Simmer wine and cracked black pepper in a medium size saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced by half.
3. Add stock and simmer for 4-5 minutes.
4. Add cooked and drain noodles, chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese and stir to coat noodles completely.
5. Serve in a warm serving bowl or on pasta plates.

This was a very tasty dish and did serve very well with white wine (given that you need wine for the recipe, you may as well have the rest while you're eating your labour of love!). We chose to use Avondale Sky's Bin 17 - a great Nova Scotian white wine!

Bon appetite & enjoy!
