KITTENCAL'S ALFREDO SAUCE
This is the perfect consistency to hold on to pasta, don't omit the dryed thyme it is what makes this sauce and you may also add in a pinch cayenne pepper also if desired --- I'm a an extreme garlic-lover and I find that 1 heaping tablespoon is plenty for this recipe if you like an extreme garlic flavor then go ahead and use more! --- the recipe may easily be doubled but I suggest to keep the garlic at no more than about 1-1/2 tablespoons for a double recipe --- have plenty of mouthwash handy after this lol! :)

Steps:
- In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan melt butter over medium-low heat.
- Add in the garlic and thyme; whisk for about 2 minutes (if your garlic is chopped instead of finely minced cook for 3 minutes watching closely not to burn the garlic).
- Add in flour and stir for 1 minute.
- Add in table cream and heavy whipping cream; bring to a boil and simmer over low heat, whisking constantly until thickened, about 2 minutes (do not allow to boil rapidly).
- Continue to simmer for about 2-3 minutes over low heat stirring continuously until bubbly and thickened.
- Mix in the Parmesan cheese; stir to melt the cheese (about 2 minutes).
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve over pasta and sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese.
- *Note* This sauce is best if eaten right away as it will become thicker upon standing.

TO DIE FOR FETTUCCINE ALFREDO
This is a recipe that I created by modifying my mother's recipe. My boyfriend is a fettuccine Alfredo connoisseur and he scrapes the pan every time! I get nothing but rave reviews when I make this dish. I must warn you, this recipe is not for the health conscious. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add fettuccini and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter into cream over low heat. Add salt, pepper and garlic salt. Stir in cheese over medium heat until melted; this will thicken the sauce.
- Add pasta to sauce. Use enough of the pasta so that all of the sauce is used and the pasta is thoroughly coated. Serve immediately.

KITTENCAL'S CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM ALFREDO
This recipe was developed with my recipe#164953 --- the amounts listed are enough to serve 6-8 people but it depends on the size of the portions you serve, you may reduce the recipe by half but I suggest to make the full amount I always do for my family of four, if there is any leftovers it always gets eaten for a midnight snack or you can serve it the next day --- the amounts for the mushrooms, chicken breast and pasta are really only a guideline you may increase or decrease slightly --- this is actually a quick recipe to throw together once you have cooked the chicken and mushrooms and to save time they may be cooked up to a day in advance, the chicken breast may be cooked in the oven instead for the skillet at 400°F. for 25 minutes, cooled then cubed --- cooking time is only for the alfredo sauce --- you will *love* this dish! :)

Steps:
- In a 4-quart heavy pot or a large skillet that is equivalent or close to that size, heat oil over medium heat; add in the chicken breast and season lightly with salt and pepper; cook on all sides until just done (about 8-10 minutes, do not overcook or the chicken or it will be dry) remove to a large bowl.
