Fettuccine Alfredo

This recipe has endless possibilities.  I often serve the noodles with a side of mushrooms, broccoli or shrimp.

Ingredients:
1 12 oz box of fettuccine noodles
1/2 cup butter
1 cup whipping cream
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesean cheese
salt and pepper to taste
Optional add-ins: broccoli, mushrooms, and/or shrimp

Cook fettuccine according to package directions.  Drain well.  Add butter.  When it melts as the rest of the ingredients.

I like to steam 2 heads of broccoli until just tender and set it aside.  Then I saute mushrooms in butter until just tender.  Same for the shrimp.  I serve these on the side since not all the family likes it mixed in.
