Fettucine in Mushroom Alfredo Sauce |
Having pasta in local western eateries often disappointing because the sauce merely coat the pasta and it seem as it is not enough to satisfy my taste but. When time permits, I rather brew my own pasta sauce. Today, I would like to share one of my favourite pasta sauces, The Alfredo, whipped from mostly basic ingredients such as butter, cooking cream and cheese. It is versatile enough that with addition of minced chicken and slices of shitake... voila...you have a nice creamy sauce that go well in this fettuccine breakfast.

- Microwaved the pasta at high heat approximately 10-12 minute or until the pasta texture al dente. (Using hot water will reduce cooking time). Allow standing time for 5-8 min before drain the water and left aside for a moment.
- For the sauce, in microwave safe container, heat the butter, onion and garlic together at high heat for 1-2 min. This will sauté the onion and garlic and melts the butter.
