Mushroom Fettuccine Alfredo

Happy Valentine's Night! We chose to have pasta for dinner. I knew I wanted to make an Alfredo sauce, but given that I've never made it before from scratch. I searched a few of my favorite recipes sites and noticed the recipes pretty much had the same ingredients in common. After studying what makes up an Alfredo sauce, I created my own. I'm not sure you'd consider it a classic Alfredo sauce, but it turned out really flavorful and the lemon gave a nice bite to the dish. Ron approves of it, so you know it's a keeper. The bread is not homemade by me. I purchased a Pain Rustique flat bread loaf from our local Central Market. Very flavorful and we broiled it with a little garlic rubbed on the bread. I want to try my hand at making real bread, but am not brave enough yet. We added sauteed shrimp to the dish also. Just season with your favorite cajun seasoning and cook a couple of minutes in oil. They really make the dish wonderful. Print friendly recipe: Mushroom Fettucine Alfredo
