Fettuccine Alfredo

MAKING

Fettuccine is a type of noodle, it's long and flat. The first step would be to boil water, with some salt, and cook the fettuccine as per packet instructions. Now, what I do is drain the water and sprinkle some olive oil on it to keep it separated and moist, I also cover it up with a paper towel or bowl to keep it from drying. 

Take a pan, add some butter in it, wait till it melts, add the chopped onions and garlic, saute it until it becomes translucent. Now add the chopped, habanero, and green pepper. Saute it again for 2-3 minutes with a little bit of salt. switch off the gas, set aside to cool. Grind it into a nice paste and keep aside.

The final step is to make the white sauce. Take the same pan, add some butter in it. Once it melts add the all-purpose flour ( 1-2 Tbsp), mix it well with a fork. Now add the milk, once it starts simmering, add salt, the onion-pepper mix that we ground into a paste, and finally some fresh mozzarella cheese. Keep Sauteing all the while, especially when adding the onion-pepper mix and the cheese. You will see the sauce thickening and ready.

Toss the fettuccine in the sauce, mix it thoroughly, Add fresh parsley and ground pepper for garnish and serve it hot. Delicious creamy Fettuccine Alfredo is ready to eat.

TIPS/VARIATIONS

You will only get a mild taste of the onion-pepper mix in the final outcome. if you want a stronger flavor or presence, you could just add on to the quantity when making the paste. Using Habanero was perfect, it gave the much-needed flavor, you could also use Serrano chili instead. Both these peppers have a distinct flavor and aroma to it which adds to the dish.
