Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium high heat. Add fettuccine and 1 teaspoon salt into the boiling water to cook according to package instructions until al dente (in other words, firm to the bite). Fresh fettuccine takes a shorter time to cook thoroughly, about 3 minutes.
- Drain the fettuccine in a colander to be added into the skillet directly without rinsing.
- Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium high heat for 2 minutes until oil starts to sizzle and shimmer. Add shrimp and cook until they turn orange, stirring frequently, about 2-3 minutes. Add garlic, onions and parsley and stir well. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and onions are soft and translucent.
- Add melted butter, cream cheese and heavy whipping cream. Stir well and cook for about 2 minutes until the mixture forms into a uniform texture. Stir in Parmesan cheese and black pepper. Stir well for 1 more minute to combine all ingredients. You will notice the mixture start to thicken a bit. (You can used also store-bought alfredo sauce instead and simply add in the sauce at this stage instead of the ingredients added in this step).
- Turn off the heat and leave the sauce mixture in the skillet. Add the cooked fettuccine and toss well to combine. Sprinkle salt flakes on top to taste. If you are not doing the pasta bake, you can serve the pasta immediately at this point.
- For the pasta bake, add pieces of fresh mozzarella evenly on top of fettuccine. Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil on high for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese melts and browns. Keep a close eye on the pasta because things can happen very quickly in the broiler.

CHRISTMAS EVE CONFETTI PASTA
This easy Christmas dinner has become a holiday tradition in our home. All the prep is done before we attend Christmas Eve service. On returning, I just boil water and saute. It's so colorful with a tossed salad and garlic bread - and always gets raves! - Ellen Fiore, Ridgewood, New Jersey

SHRIMP FETTUCCINE ALFREDO
This take on a classic Italian-American recipe is super easy to make. Slightly reducing the cream and adding a hefty dose of cheese means you don't have to use flour to thicken the sauce.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt generously. Add the pasta, and boil according to package directions until al dente, tender but still slightly firm. Strain, and toss with a splash of oil.
- Meanwhile, arrange the shrimp in a single layer on a large pie pan or paper plate, and pat them with a paper towel until completely dry. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and add 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter melts, raise the heat to medium-high, and invert the plate of shrimp over the skillet so the shrimp fall into the pan all at once. Cook the shrimp, without moving them, until the underside is pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp, and cook until fully pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl.
- Reduce the heat to medium, and add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. When the butter has mostly melted, whisk in the cream and nutmeg and bring to a simmer, then cook for 2 minutes. Lower the heat to keep the sauce warm.
- Whisk the Parmigiano-Reggiano into the sauce. Add the shrimp and cooked pasta, and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot in heated bowls.

Steps:
- 1. Boil water with a dash of salt for your pasta - you can add some olive oil so the pasta does not stick. Add Pasta when water has come to a boil. With a pasta fork gently stir pasta so it does not stick.
- 2. While pasta is cooking, in a large saute pan, melt butter and saute your garlic(do not let it burn).

- 5. Once pasta is cooked, drain it and place pasta back in pot. Add your shrimp and Alfredo sauce to the pasta. Gently incorporate the sauce and pasta - gently with a pair of tongs.
- 6. Last and most important step....ENJOY!!
