Megan's Notes:

This rich, creamy dish is one of my favorite comfort foods and it has gotten rave reviews from even the pickiest eaters of the family. It's also very easy to make; when my husband learned to cook, this was the first dish he made.

Comments from the Test Kitchen:

Comfort food to the max! This recipe is delicious just as is, but I also sometimes like to add additional garlic. It would be great with chicken too!

Directions

Cook fettuccine according to package directions. *Make sure to salt the pasta cooking water for flavor.

Meanwhile, in a saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat.

Whisk in cream, cheeses, egg yolks, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until hot to the touch, but not boiling (thermometer will read 160 degrees).

Drain fettuccine. Pour sauce over pasta and grate some Parmesan over the top.

Sounds great! I am going to try this with either shrimp or chicken added.

Thank you, I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! It's also great with mushrooms, broccoli, or bacon.

Oh, I'll bet! Bacon and onions would turn it into a carbonara sauce.

My husband's favorite is when I add sauteed mushrooms and shrimp to your basic recipe. Sometimes I throw in frozen chopped broccoli. I just throw the chopped broccoli and cooked shrimp abou the last couple minutes of cooking the pasta. Drain and mix with the sauce mmmm....
