What is Christmas Fettuccini?

Christmas Fettuccini is a simple but delicious pasta dish also known as Fettuccine Alfredo.

It consists of finely minced shallots, garlic, white wine, cream and butter. (So all of our favourite things).

It’s super creamy and comforting and you can add rosemary, a hint of lemon and heaps and heaps of parmesan!

You can also go one step further by adding a topping such as grilled chicken breast, bacon, grilled shrimp or even meatballs.
