So.......My wife has only had my homemade alfredo sauce once (not married very long) and I had never made noodles before, so I decided to surprise her a couple of days ago. Just simple egg noodles:
3 c flour
3 whole eggs
1/4 c hot water
one finger pinch of salt
Then rolled super thin and hand cut into thin strips.
Then I melted butter in a sauce pan, chopped garlic, and italian seasoning. Sauted it up a for a few minutes to blend the voices and grilled thinly pounded chicken breast. Stuck that in the warmer drawer to keep it hot. Kept the drippings in the pan, dumped in a quart of heavy whipping cream, four cups of parm cheese, half a package of cream cheese (made it kind of tangy, would use less next time or probably not at all), more italian seasoning, little bit of garlic powder, fresh ground black pepper. Heated and slowly whisked until it thickened.
Had been drying the noodles with a fan for about two hours, then dumped them into a rolling boil for three and a half minutes. Nearly perfect!
Plated with peas and french bread. I didn't have time for homemade bread, but next time...........
Yum!! And all of this on our new to us antique tablecloth, freshly painted kitchen, and new gas stove! Wooohooooo!!! I'm never ever going back to electric. Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. And of course I took the close up of the food that was plated the worst. Figures.
