This pasta dish is velvety and creamy, unlike any Alfredo. It is an excellent base for a plethora of add-ons like shrimp, grilled chicken, lobster, et al. Easy to make and oh-so impressive a dish. Garnish with a lemon wheel and a sprig of cilantro.
Recipe Ingredients
- 1 pound fettuccini pasta
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 16 ounces soft fontina cheese
- 16 ounces heavy whipping cream, or to taste
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground dried sage, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 2 cooked and shredded South African lobster tails
Cooking Directions
- 1 Shred fontina cheese in a food processor.
- 2 Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
