This recipe is a variation of a similar Italian one that I enhanced to my taste over the years from being in North Carolina.

How To Make fettucini a l'americaine

Step 1

Cook pasta according to the direction. I always cook mine all dente... In the meanwhile in a medium saucepan melt the butter over medium heat. Gradually add the cream cheese, half and half and parmesan cheese stirring slowly until blended.

Step 2

Continue heating the sauce stirring constantly (I use a whisk)just until it reaches boiling point.
Step 3

Remove from heat and add salt and pepper.
Step 4

Toss hot pasta into the sauce. Sprinkle parsley on top if desired. Time to delight with my American variation.
