Good Morning. I have a funny little story for you. Okay, it's really not "laugh-out-loud" funny -- sorry -- but kinda "interesting" funny.
Last Thursday I went over to my Parent's house for dinner and she served a side of Fettucine Alfredo. It was interesting. Not what I normally think of as Fettucine Alfredo -- but good. It was thicker and a bit "sharper" tasting than I am used to.
After I had tried it, Mom got a big kick out of telling me it was Olive Garden's Fettucine Alfredo recipe and that I had given it to her. (I printed out all of the recipes that I had on my computer a few months ago, put them in a notebook and gave them to her. I really wouldn't recommend this. It took a 3 inch binder, stuffed to the gills to hold them all. But luckily I worked at Kinko's at the time and got a nice discount.)
Back to the Fettucine Alfredo. Although I already have several Olive Garden Recipes on the Copycat Restaurant Recipes Blog, I hadn't put this recipe up yet -- or even tried it, for that matter -- because, to be honest, I didn't think it would be any good. It includes "cream cheese" and I just couldn't wrap my mind around that. I love cream cheese but I just couldn't imagine it in Fettucine Alfredo.
Well, I ate 2 helpings of the Fettucine Alfredo and I ate my words (or thoughts, since I had never really wrote anything about it. ;) It isn't bad. It's not my favorite Fettucine Alfredo -- but I can see how many people would be fond of it.
So -- here is the recipe for you.
Olive Garden Fettucine Alfredo
Ingredients
8 ounces Cream cheese −− cut in bits
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese −− grated
1/2 cup Butter or margarine
1/2 cup Milk
8 ounces Fettuccine; cook −− drain
Directions
1. In large saucepan combine cream cheese, Parmesan, butter and milk, stirring constantly until smooth.
2. Toss pasta lightly with sauce, coating well.
Leftovers freeze well. -- At least that's what the recipe says. We didn't have any. ;)

how many servings is this??
It made a bowl that was enough for 6 of us as a side dish. If you were going to eat this as a main dish, I would guess it would be enough for a couple or small family of 3 or 4.
Enjoy,

That looks great! I had no idea what I wanted to make for dinner tonight, I can't wait to try this recipe out!
Ok, I have a brother that was a chef for them for years. Me not being a cook he told me it was super simple that anyone could make it even me. It is simply equal parts Heavy Whipping Cream, Parmigian cheese, and UN-SALTED butter. You can make it better by using a nice smoked cheese.
This really looks delicious with lots of twists. I'm definitely craving for a plate of that right now. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe. This is definitely a must do recipe this weekend since I got my ISO 22000 Training.
