I made some fettuccini last night for a night out by the pond, and whipped up a fantastic sauce… AWESOME SAUCE. Creamy in nature with a slight tang from the buttermilk. Plus, I added sautéed mushrooms, and ground Italian sausage to boot… It is a killer. I have my own spice combination; however, if you have a few “special” spices that you cannot live without… throw them in. The more the merrier. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen
