Valentines Day is right around the corner!!! love love love

Alright cookers, so I 've decided to give you two dinner ideas to WOW your V-day date. Show them your a pro at cooking with this easyyyyyyyyy and yummmyyyy cheesy alfredo dish. Honestly, he/she will think you went to culinary school or something, its THAT GOOD!

Simply Alfredo
This a quick and super simple way of making Alfredo sauce. I learned this from my father and he learned this from working as a cook when he was young. So trust me, an Italian man making a simple Italian dish...it muussttt taste good.

Ingredients:
Linguini (or any pasta you like)
Heavy cream (You can get to small sized cartons of heavy cream or the next size up.)
1 container of grated cheese (for the sauce and for topping)
Butter
1 clove garlic
Salt/pepper
oil

Tip: This is a really simple dish and the more grated cheese the better. I put almost a full container of it! Its soo good.  Also you can throw in some veggies, cooked chicken, lobster, etc. or whatever you like.

Directions:

Cook pasta and set aside.

In a medium sauce pan or large frying pan on medium heat, pour about a table spoon of oil and pad of butter into the pan. Once melted, add the garlic and let cook for about 5 minutes or until fragrant. Next, pour heavy cream into pan and let come to a boil for about 10-12 minutes still on medium-high heat. If it needs longer time to boil and to become a bit thicker then let it sit a bit more. (You be the judge of whether the cream is getting thicker. Here is a trick, if you dip a spoon in the cream, take it out and swipe your finger down the middle and see a clear line with a bit of cream holding up on each side of the swipe then it is getting thicker) Now it is time to add the grated cheese, salt and pepper to taste.  I add about a half of a container of grated cheese, but I might add a bit more towards the end. So let the cheese melt into the cream by stirring constantly for about 8 mins. Taste it! See if it needs more cheese. If it does add it, if not you can add your cooked chicken, veggies or whatever you may have to add to the cream.

Now serve it up!! Serve with crusty bread and Buon Appetito Amore : ) !!!!

I will be posting my 2nd V-day dish tomorrow...I'm makng it for my love : ) Stay tuned!
