- Fettuccine Alfredo is a classic. However, producing a classic doesn't necessarily entail long hrs in the kitchen and a ton of rich ingredients. Which's the case with this version. A feature in the January issue of Sunset magazine makes the point, including the recipe among a collection of "comfort foods from around the world - lightened, updated and designed for weeknight dinners."
- The recipe includes prosciutto and Parmesan cheese to keep a depth of satisfying flavor in this streamlined version which you can make in about 20 min. 4 servings.
