Let's get down to business...
Ingredients:
Garnishment:
* 3 t. Lemon peel, grated
* 2 t. Fresh parsley, minced
* 2 Garlic cloves, minced
Sauce:
* 1/4 C. Butter
* 1 Small onion, chopped
* 2 Garlic cloves, minced
* 1 t. Lemon peel, grated
* 1/2 C. Heavy Whipping Cream
* 1/2 t. Salt
* 1/8 t. Pepper
* 4 oz. Cream cheese, cubed
* 2 T. Lemon juice
* 2 Tomatoes, diced
* 2 t. Fresh parsley, minced
* Parmesan Cheese, grated
* Fettuccine Noodles
How To:
* Mix garnishment set aside, + start your Fettuccine noodles.
* In a large skillet over medium high heat melt the butter.
* Add onion + cook 3-4 mins until tender.
* Add garlic + lemon peel.
* Slowly stir in heavy cream, salt + pepper.
* Whisk in cream cheese + stir until melted.
* Remove sauce from heat + let it cool slightly.
* Add in lemon juice
* Add pasta, tomatoes + parsley to the sauce + toss to coat.
* Serve immediately, top with garnishment + Parmesan cheese.
* Enjoy! :)
Notes:
* Like I said I added shrimp to my pasta. I just bought a 40-60 count bag of frozen cooked shrimp, defrosted it + then warmed up the shrimp in a skillet with a few spoonfuls of the sauce + some water.
* I opted to omit the tomatoes since I wanted more of a lemon garlic flavor. I also didn't include the lemon peel which I don't think really played in a big factor, my pasta still had a nice zesty lemon flavor from the lemon juice alone.
* I love a ton of sauce on my pasta so next time I make this I think I may double the sauce recipe, I got about 3 servings out of the recipe as it is.
* I didn't toss my pasta in the sauce like the recipe calls for, however I do wish I had as it is a very thick sauce + would be best tossed rather than ladled onto the pasta.

I can't say enough good things about this recipe, it was that delicious! Definitely putting this one down in the recipe book + can't wait to make it again! Next time I might try making it with chicken + maybe I'll add broccoli to it :) There are just so many combinations that would be so good with this sauce, I'll go do some experimenting + get back to ya.
Until next time friends...Cheers!!
