fettucine alfredo

Fettucine alfredo is a dish that can be caloric lead balloon but this version is easy, ready in 20 minutes, your family will love it, and no one will miss the empty calories. Rather than multiple sticks of butter, eggs, and heavy cream, there’s only one stick of butter and I used Silk Unsweetened Cashewmilk. The recipe halves easily but I make it as written and freeze leftovers in single-serve portions and can pull them out and re-heat at a moment’s notice for impromptu school lunches or planned-leftover-dinners.

Serve immediately. Recipe is best warm and fresh, but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for 4 months. Reheat very gently prior to serving leftovers so cheese doesn’t separate.
