Fettuccine Alfredo
A slightly more indulgent vegetarian offering, this simple yet elegant main entree is perfectly portioned for two, but it also makes a welcomed side dish for the family. Top with freshly grated Paramesan and chopped chives. (Although it's not part of this recipe, you could add grilled chicken.)
