Linguine Alfredo


Pasta is seriously one of my favorites things to eat. Lots of carbs = WIN. Sadly, I haven't made anything for over a month now. Things have been a little busy for me, but fear not! I am back! I was feeling rather hungry after class today, and decided to not spend dinero on food and actually make something with my own hands. This twist on the classic uses linguine instead of the usual fettucine (only because I had linguine on hand). I've never gotten around to making my own pasta (shocking, I know). Perhaps that will be my next feat.
Anyways, I don't like my pasta to be too saucy, especially with alfredo. I tossed the pasta with the sauce after it was cooked. Each piece should be coated well enough, but it shouldn't be drippy. There are very few ingredients that go into making this dish, but the flavor is substantial. I toasted my garlic and minced it very finely before adding it to the alfredo, giving it a very aromatic flavor. Nothing more than salt goes into this dish; and I topped it off with some dried parsley. It's been a very delicious afternoon for me.

What's in it:
-linguine pasta, cream, butter, garlic, parmesan cheese, Romano cheese, parsley
