Fettuccine Alfredo is so one of my favourite Pasta dishes. Being on Weight Watchers for a few months now I have not made the dish in awhile. I like your recipe and I will try it the next time I make Fettuccine Alfredo, thank you for sharing.
Hi Deb,
I too love Fettuccine Alfredo but it is definitely a once a year splurge!! ( I went to Weight Watchers too…they have a wonderful program!!)

Ellen, it stabilized the egg whites, this frosting is delicious!!
We love Fettuccine Alfredo, my son usually makes it, I will share this recipe with him.
Carolyn, don’t you love having kids that are old enough and willing to cook!
I love this frosting recipe!
Megan, this recipe is so easy and turns out perfectly every time! my only caution would be that it is best eaten on the day it’s made…not usually a problem!!!
