My Grandma passed away at the age of 94. She was a wonderful cook and I was lucky enough to inherit her recipes. Many date back to the 1940s and 50s. Grandma prepared them in a charming country kitchen with no running water and most of her produce came from her garden, not from the grocery store. These are made-from-scratch recipes. I wish I had spent more time with her in the kitchen and . . . I wish I had spent more time with her for so many other reasons.

Grandma's Fettuccine Alfredo

Who knew Fettuccine Alfredo could be so easy?  Need dinner in a hurry?  Whip this up with a tossed salad and grilled chicken breasts.  A good dinner in no time!

1 cup of salted butter - don't substitute
2 cups whipping cream
1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup of grated Romano cheese
1 lb of fettuccine
Fresh basil leaves

Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.  Add the whipping cream and cheeses.  Whip with a whisk and heat until mixture is just bubbly.  Remove from heat and set aside.  Slice the basil leaves into very small bits.

Prepare fettuccine as directed on package.  Drain well.  Pour Alfredo sauce into large serving bowl and add hot pasta.  Toss the noodles and the sauce.  Sprinkle the basil bits over the hot pasta and serve immediately.
