CHRISTMAS FETTUCCINI RECIPE

Ready for our take on Christmas Fettuccini?! Inspired by my favorite Christmas movie (if it’s even legal to have a favorite) and fancied up with homemade Alfredo sauce and yummy toppings. Only thing left to do is drink wine out of the bottle at the grocery store, befriend a witty elderly man, make a blanket fort (including twinkle lights and paper stars), and find the perfect LBD to wear to NYE.

Or you could just whip up a batch, turn on The Holiday and cozy up for a nice date night in… Keep scrolling for the recipe!

CHRISTMAS FETTUCCINI (ALFREDO) RECIPE

Serves 4-6, takes 20-30 minutes start to finish

You’ll Need:

Fettuccini Noodles (I like the fresh ones in the cooler section at the store and my kids love angel hair, but any pasta noodle works!), cooked according to package directions
1 pint whipping cream (or 2 cups)
4 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup butter
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
Optional toppings or garnish:
- fresh basil
- parmesan
- sautéed shallots and diced tomatoes that also taste good tossed in pasta with a little extra olive oil, salt, and pepper, if you’re wanting to skip the rich Alfredo sauce
- Serve with wine and sparkling cider!

Here’s How:

In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the butter, cream cheese, and whipping cream until melted.
Add parmesan, garlic, and remaining seasoning. Whisk until smooth and slightly thickened – about 3-5 minutes.
Toss with pasta and top with bacon, parm, basil, and/or sautéed tomatoes and shallots as desired.
