My long-awaited Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo dinner for the ABC Unit was Friday March 26, and it went great! I'm still delivering meals when I can due to Covid, but I look forward to seeing my friends around the table again.
I had some research to do to find the best Alfredo flavor, so I scoured the internet and my cookbooks and made three different test batches (for myself). By the time I was ready to make this for my friends, I couldn't remember which test batch I liked best, or what I kind cheese I used where (they were weeks apart), so I went with the shredded parmesan.
Keep in mind, the guys I cook for could care less if it's great or just mediocre and, I have to say, I have had 'mediocre' fettuccine when I have ordered it from restaurants, so I don't know why I worry so much. All 2 lbs. of fettuccine fit perfectly in my Cuisinart Electric Skillet and, had I known that ahead of time, I would've made the two batches of alfredo sauce in one pot (instead of two) which would 've been a huge time-saver. I also made a big salad, garlic bread, and the usual banana pudding and cream puffs for dessert.
My visits are always enjoyable and these guys definitely make me feel like part of the family. They're so appreciative and seem genuinely interested when they ask how I've been and what's new in my life -- I love that.
When I delivered my last meal to these guys in December, they asked if I had a traffic baton for my Citizen's on Patrol (COPs) volunteer work (one of our tasks is to direct traffic if there's a car accident if we can assist). I told them I didn't, but that we were supposed to get one. It has been three months since my last visit and guess what.....they gave me a traffic baton! I just thought it was super thoughtful that they even remembered.
I'll make this again soon and will revise this post with the recipe. It was delicious and this hungry bunch loved it! 💙
