Imagine, fettuccine, with feta cheese, milk, eggs and butter. Yummm, this simple dish is a wonderful comfort food, sure to please even the pickiest eater. It's quick and easy to make and you can substitute the noodles for spaghetti or spaghettini. Remember to add salt sparingly, as feta is pretty salty.
