Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute tortellini for fettuccine pasta.

    Delicious and super simple. Save some pasta water if you’re going to reheat it later as it helps the sauce from breaking and getting oily.

    This is an outstanding and simple Alfredo sauce recipe. - our family's go-to when making fettucine alfredo.

    I had some cream that was about to go bad and decided to make this. It tasted very good when it was warm. I picked at the cold leftovers and it was oily, not creamy. Not sure if this will be good tomorrow for lunch.

    This is the classic alfredo sauce. Absolutely delicious but best reserved for special occasions. p193
