Once again Tasty Tuesday. This recipe is from "All Recipes" I have added a few notes of my own and suggest it on my Lemon Orange Pasta. Will be on the Website : Kellyspasta.com
Lemon Basil Alfredo All Recipes Website
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 1/4 cup butter
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
• 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, or more to taste
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Cook the Lemon and Orange Fettucine as directed inside package
1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook until simmering, about 1 minute. Add heavy cream. Increase heat to medium and bring to a boil; simmer, stirring occasionally, until Alfredo sauce is reduced by half, about 20 minutes.
2. Slowly whisk lemon zest and juice into the Alfredo sauce to avoid curdling. Stir in Parmesan, ricotta, and Romano cheeses until melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in basil, salt, and pepper; cook for 2 to 3 minutes more.
3. Pour the Alfredo sauce over the Lemon and Orange Fettucine Noodles.
Footnotes
• Juice the rest of the lemon for extra flavor if desired.
• Heavy cream is ideal; or use 2 cups whole milk and cook down. I added a bit of ricotta cheese to enhance creaminess for the milk version.
• You could add in your favorite cooked veggies as well, such as asparagus, baby peas, or zucchini (or serve these on the side).
• You could also finish the dish by drizzling Blood Orange Olive Oil over the top.
