Welcome back to another fabulous week of delicious meals for under $10.00! I am so excited to share this week’s recipe with you. I have found this dish to be a real crowd pleaser and it is fun and simple to make. This week our star dish is Fettuccine Alfredo! Since this is a favorite in my house hold I normally have all of the ingredients I need for this dish, so I did all of my costing online to find you the best prices. Here is what we need:
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound dry fettuccine pasta-Great Value Fettuccine Noodles $1.08(Wal-Mart)
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil-Gem Cold 8.5oz $2.00(Wal-Mart)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream-1qrt $2.50(Costco)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 garlic clove minced-$.50(Farmer’s Market)
- 1TB onion minced-$.69/lb(Safeway)
- 6 oz Romano/Parmesan cheese blend-4C Home-style $2.66(Wal-Mart)
- Total cost=$9.43
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
2. While the noodles are cooking mince your garlic and onion.
3. Put 2TB of your oil in a sauté pan over medium heat, once warm add garlic and onion. Remove once onion is translucent. Save.
4. In a large saucepan, heat the remainder of the oil over low heat. Add salt, pepper, garlic, and onion. Slowly poor in heavy cream. Stir in cheese over medium heat until melted; this will thicken the sauce.
5. Add pasta to sauce. Use enough of the pasta so that all of the sauce is used and the pasta is thoroughly coated. Serve immediately.
I took a food and wine pairing class last year and was able to apply that knowledge to pair this wonderful dish with a wine that would enhance the flavors. I recommend a Riesling, a sharp Chardonnay, or a Pinot Noir. Sit back, relax and enjoy!
