Yesterday I got some craving for italian food. I had some chicken breast and fetuccini, some whipping cream and parmesiano reggiano. I needed to make something yummy. What could it be?
Fetuccini alfredo of course. (the recipe is below - just click the link)
I love italian cuisine. It's can be very simple to cook but at the same time very sophisticated and complex in taste. And I guess I also love this dish for the sauce. White sauce is my favorite one and I think I use it pretty often. This version of alfredo dish is made with chicken. It is not a light version, but it is so yummy with silky and buttery sauce that it just makes you forget about your these diets and what not.
I actually had one recipe that I liked making before it was in my tastebook binder but I guess we all learn from our experience. So I just stumbled upon this recipe and it didn't have flour to thicken the sauce (I can like this recipe only for this) It also had some spices like nutmeg and thyme which give the dish just a shade of new flavor.
So I tried the new recipe yesterday and both me and my husband liked it so much and I decided right away that my old recipe needs an update. (I actually kept on trying the sauce while cooking I guess even more often than I was supposed to).
I served my chicken alfredo with simple green salad (just tomatoes, green capsicum, cucumber and lettuce) salad and dressed it with a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon, added just a pinch of thyme.
The only thing I believe I missed out in the recipe is to warn everyone not to boil the sauce once you add parmesan cheese as it makes the fat from the cheese to separate.
As a perfect finishing for the dinner I created this creamy berry-misu, inspired by old time Italian favorite tiramisu.
One might ask why not making tiramisu then. Well I didn't have mascarpone at home and it would have taken too long and my husband was already on the way. I decided to make this dessert in the spur of the moment. Had everything for it and didn't take long to assemble this sweet treat.
mmmm Yummy!
If you make any of them please let me know if you liked it or not or just leave a comment on any thoughts of yours.
That's all for now.
Take care there.
