FETTUCCINE IN CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Drop fettuccine into boiling water with salt added. Cook to desired degree of tenderness, 4 to 5 minutes for fresh pasta and about 9 minutes for dried.

• Drain pasta immediately and return to kettle. Add pepper and butter and toss until butter is melted. Add cream and cheese and stir gently to blend.

FETTUCCINE WITH HERBS, BUTTER AND CREAM

Steps:

• Bring 2 quarts water to a boil with 1 tablespoon salt. Meanwhile, in a saucepan place the heavy cream and butter. Simmer over low heat for a minute or until slightly reduced and then season with salt and pepper. Keep warm over low heat. To the pot of boiling water, add the fettuccine, and bring water back to a boil. If pasta has just been made, cook for a few seconds after water returns to a boil, other wise cook until just slightly firmer than al dente, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain fettuccine and add it to the cream sauce. Toss fettucine coating them with cream sauce. Add fresh herbs, salt, pepper and toss again, still over low heat, until sauce has thickened and fettuccine is well coated. Serve immediately.

Add green and red bell peppers and onion to same skillet and sauté until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and crushed red pepper to skillet and sauté 4 minutes. Add whipping cream and chicken stock. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 8 minutes.
• Cut chicken into strips and add to sauce. Simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add basil and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese to sauce, stirring to incorporate. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain and return to pot. Add sauce and toss to coat. Serve, passing additional Parmesan separately.

CREMA

Steps:

• Whisk the sour cream and heavy cream together in a bowl, then add the salt and the lime juice, and whisk again. Cover the bowl, and allow it to sit at room temperature for a minimum of 2 hours and ideally overnight. It will thicken nicely. Use right away, or transfer to a jar and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

FETTUCCINE CON CARCIOFI

Using small knife, peel stem, then slice into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Drop stem slices into lemon water. Pull off leaves from artichoke and discard. Using spoon, scoop out choke. Thinly slice artichoke bottom. Drop artichoke slices into lemon water. Repeat with remaining artichokes.
• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Drain artichoke pieces; add to skillet. Sauté until artichokes are soft and beginning to turn golden, about 20 minutes. Add wine; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 3 minutes. Stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons parsley; simmer 1 minute. Discard garlic. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid.
