Seafood Fettuccine Alfredo w/ homemade garlic bread
Scallops
Shrimp (I remove the shells and tail before hand because I hate when people have tailed shrimp in pasta)
Fettuccine Noodles
2 Cups Skim Milk (if you wanna be healthy) or 2 Cups Heavy Cream
1 Cup Clam Juice
1/2 cup freshly grated Parm
Flour to thicken
Chopped Garlic
Dried Parsley and Oregano
Salt and Pepper
Garlic Bread:
1 French bread loaf
1/3 to 1/2 stick of butter
Couple clove finely minced garlic
Small amount of EVOO
Fresh Parsley
Pepper
Afredo Sauce:
Start with finely chopped garlic in EVOO over medium heat. Lightly brown the garlic. Add in the clam juice, dried oregano and dried parsley. Simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Add in the milk/cream, salt, pepper. Keep over medium- medium high heat, stirring occasionally. Do this for 15-20 min. Slowly add flour. Its best to use a sifter so there are not big chunks going in. Mix the flour in as you add until you reach desired thickness.
Freshly grate Parm and mix in slowly to avoid clumps. Once everything is mixed in, and sauce is desired thickness, make sure you taste. I often find I need to add more salt and pepper at this time. Turn sauce to medium low to keep warm.
Cook pasta. Sear scallops in EVOO, cook shrimp. My scallops didnt sear up great because the only pan I had left was too big for my burners with the sauce and pasta on already. Add salt and pepper, garlic if desired.
Serve with freshly chopped Parsley
Garlic Bread:
Take butter out to soften (can microwave if necessary- dont want totally melted butter though). Split the french loaf in half both "hot dog and hamburger" style. In a small dish, add the butter, pepper, garlic, parsley. Use EVOO to get a pastey consistency. Mix well.
Oven to 350. Spread mixture liberally over bread, bake for 10 min or until crispy.
