Mediterranean Delights 

Fettucine Alfredo   (Serves 4-6)


1 lb fettucine noodles
salted water
12 Tbsps butter or margarine
3 cups whipping cream
2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
freshly grated, or ground nutmeg

1.  Cook fettucine noodles in large pot of salted water, stirring often, about
     12 minutes.  Taste for al-dente noodles.

2.  Drain well.

3.  Meanwhile, melt butter in a wide frying pan, over high heat until slightly
     browned.  Add 1 cup of the cream and boil rapidly until slightly
     thickened.  Reduce heat to medium, add noodles and mix gently.  Add
     the remaining cream and Parmesan cheese. Mix again.  You can do
     this in parts, to cover the pasta in the cream sauce mix some and then
     put onto a serving platter, then repeat again for some more pasta and
     add the serving platter.  Work quickly so as not to dry out sauce and
     noodle will quickly absorb sauce.

4.  Season with salt and pepper.  Sprinkle with nutmeg and serve hot.
     Enjoy!
