Kittencals Fettuccine Alfredo Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan melt butter over medium-low heat.
• Add in the garlic and thyme; whisk for about 2 minutes (if your garlic is chopped instead of finely minced cook for 3 minutes watching closely not to burn the garlic).
• Add in flour and stir for 1 minute.
• Add in table cream and heavy whipping cream; bring to a boil and simmer over low heat, whisking constantly until thickened, about 2 minutes (do not allow to boil rapidly).
• Continue to simmer for about 2-3 minutes over low heat stirring continuously until bubbly and thickened.
• Mix in the Parmesan cheese; stir to melt the cheese (about 2 minutes).
• Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
• Serve over pasta and sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese.
• *Note* This sauce is best if eaten right away as it will become thicker upon standing.

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and lemon zest and cook until the garlic is slightly soft, about 1 minute. Add in the flour and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and 3/4 teaspoon salt and cook, whisking constantly, until just thickened, about 3 minutes. Add the Neufchâtel and parmesan cheese; whisk until melted, about 1 minute. Stir in the chopped parsley.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and return to the pot. Add the sauce and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water to the pasta and gently toss to combine, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen. Season with salt. Divide among bowls and top with parmesan and pepper.

Steps:

• Cook and drain fettuccine as directed on package.
• Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, heat butter and whipping cream over medium heat, stirring frequently, until butter is melted and mixture starts to bubble. Reduce heat to low; simmer uncovered 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in cheese, salt and pepper.
• In large bowl, toss fettuccine with sauce until well coated. Sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in a large pot boiling salted water until al dente.
• While the pasta is cooking melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add in fresh garlic, thyme, seasoned salt and cayenne pepper (if using) cook stirring constantly for 2 minutes.
• Add in flour and stir for 1 minute.
• Add in half and half cream and whipping cream; cook stirring or whisking constantly until bubbly and thickened.
• Reduce heat to low and mix in Parmesan cheese until combined and melted.
• Season with fresh ground black pepper.
• Drain the cooked pasta VERY well, then divide into bowls.
• Pour the sauce over the pasta and toss to combine.
• Top each bowl with more Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat the olive oil; saute the onions, Italian seasoning and oregano for about 2-3 minutes, stirring until soft but not brown.
• Add in garlic and saute for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Add in the tomato paste; stir and cook 1 minute.
• Add in the remaining ingredients; cook and simmer on low heat for 1/2 to 3/4 hours, stirring occasionally, adding more salt if needed (the longer you cook this sauce the thicker and richer it will be!).
• Cool slightly and use immediately or refrigerate up to 5 days or you may freeze.
• *NOTE* freeze in plastic containers after cooled, I find that this sauce tastes even better if left in the fridge overnight to blend the flavors before using or freezing.
• Delicious!

Steps:

• Prepare the meatball recipe as directed on the recipe; transfer to a plate cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use (the meatballs may be prepared up to 1 day in advance).
• Drain the diced tomatoes over a strainer.
• Coat bottom of large heavy-bottomed pot with olive oil, heat over medium heat.
• Saute onion with bay leaf, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper and crushed chili peppers for about 5-7 minutes or until the onions are transparent.
• Add in fresh garlic; cook stirring for 2 minutes.
• Add the tomato paste;mix and stir for about 2 minutes or until well combined with the onion mixture.
• Add in the wine; stir well to combine.
• Add the 2 cans crushed tomatoes (can use 3 cans if you are freezing some sauce) and the drained diced tomatoes, stir and bring to a light boil; boil for 5-8 minutes then reduce heat to low.
• Add in uncooked meatballs to the sauce (if you are adding the meatballs uncooked do not stir for 30 minutes or you may run the risk of them falling apart in the simmering sauce).
• Simmer uncovered on low heat for about 3-5 hours (the longer you simmer uncovered the thicker and richer your sauce will be so don't be afraid to simmer even 6 hours!) adding more salt if desired.
• Skim off any fat that might gather on top of sauce.
• Allow to cool to room temperature then refrigerate (with the meatballs in the sauce) a minimum of 1 day or up to 4 days before using.
• Use as much as desired then freeze the rest for another meal, just reheat the sauce on top of the stove or heat in microwave (this will freeze well for up to 6 months).
• Note: if desired, you can bake the meatballs in the oven before adding to the sauce.
