Last night I felt the need to cook comfort food. I threw a twist on classic fettucini alfredo.
-
Arrabiata Alfredo Pie
Sauce
1 part butter
3 parts heavy cream
Melt butter in pot, add cream, bring to a boil and reduce heat.
Extras
Few cloves garlic, crushed & chopped
Fistfull of fresh basil, chiffonade
Mushrooms, sliced
Prosciutto, slided
Mozzerella & Provalone cheese, grated
Parmesan cheese
Crushed red pepper
1 egg, beaten
Cook fettuccini, drain and cool.
Add all of your extras into pot with pasta. Stir in sauce. Add Parmesan cheese to the point where it seems just like Alfredo. Throw in a few fist fulls of mozzerella and provalone (these are all exact measurements, by the way).
Put ingredients in a buttered baking dish and cook at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
Cut and serve like a pie. If you really want to make it healthy, drizzle some additional alfredo sauce over the top. Clos du Bois is a great wine accompaniment.
Gooey, creamy, cheesy, tasty, artery-clogging Italian comfort food.
