Restaurant-Style Fettucini Alfredo

How hard is it to find a decent alfredo sauce at the store?  Impossible, I think.  I’ve tried.  This recipe makes alfredo sauce that tastes like you got it at an Italian restaurant, and it only takes you about 5 minutes prep time and 45 minutes to cook. Costs about $12. Feeds about 6, maybe 8, people.

YOU’LL NEED:

• 8 tbsp. (1 stick) butter
• 2 cups (1 pint) heavy cream
• 1 1/3 cup shredded Gruyere cheese (in the specialty cheese section of the supermarket)
• 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 16 oz. fettuccine noodles

DIRECTIONS:

1. Melt butter in the microwave & add to the crock pot.
2. Add cream & both cheeses.
3. Cover and heat on HIGH until it’s melted and bubbly (about 45 minutes), careful not to burn it (stir if edge starts to brown).
4. Cook noodles according to package directions then drain (don’t rinse).
5. Add noodles to crock pot & stir.
6. Sprinkle any remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
7. If you like, add grilled chicken on top.
8. Enjoy!
