About This Recipe:
Fettuccine Alfredo is undeniably delicious and decadent. However, I was quite shocked to find out how it is usually made in restaurants. It basically calls for a cup of butter, a cup of heavy cream, and a cup of cheese… which sadly does not fit into my normal diet. But a few nifty substitutes takes this Alfredo sauce from a special occasion treat to a meal you could regularly make at home. I promise that this is a really satisfying fake out recipe, so give it a shot!
Enjoy!

-12 oz baby bella mushrooms, sliced
-1 lb fettuccine

-4 garlic cloves, minced
-2 tbls flour
-2 cups chicken broth

1. In a Dutch oven over medium heat, add 1 tbl of oil and sauté the mushrooms until they are fully cooked and golden brown (about 5- 6 minutes.) Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl.
2. Melt the butter and then cook the garlic for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook off for another minute.
3. Whisk in the chicken broth, milk, and parmesan, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes on low heat to thicken.
