Ingredients

  • 24 oz dry fettuccini pasta

  • 1 c. butter

  • 3/4 pint heavy cream

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 dash garlic salt

  • 3/4 cup grated Romano cheese

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add fettuccini and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.

  • In a large saucepan, melt butter into cream over low heat. Add salt, pepper and garlic salt. Stir in cheese over medium heat until melted; this will thicken the sauce.
