Fettuccine Alfredo!

When Matt and I were dating, I went through a period where I didn’t think he liked me, because we dated for a month before he kissed me. I thought that I would impress him with my mad cooking skills.

I decided to make Alfredo, I got home early and tried to make Jessica’s Alfredo Recipe. Which has always been my favorite because it’s amazing. I always thought you had to cook it for a long time so that all the flavors could mesh together.

Well, I failed, miserably. I added too much cheese and cooked it too long. I just thought I would make it taste better by adding more and more parmesan.

Turns out Matt did like me and he was just a gentleman. He was waiting for the right time and when our first kiss happened it was perfect. He also was really nice and told me that my Alfredo was good, which it wasn’t. What a good boyfriend he was!!

Every time I watch the Holiday with Jack Black and Cameron Diaz I always think, it would be nice to have Christmas Alfredo on Christmas Eve. Also, I really enjoy that movie, you should watch it.

Anyways, we love Olive Garden at our house! This is why Matt and I had to try to come up with the perfect Copycat.

This recipe we felt was as close as you can get to the real deal. The Romano cheese makes a real difference. If you are like us you will want a little leftover Romano cheese to top it with. Hope you like it as much we did!
