Yum! So it’s been a CRAZY month y’all! We just moved into a house (yay!) which was exhausting. It’s so worth it though. Riley has a yard to run around in now! On top of the move I agreed to do a food demonstration at the Nashville Home Show today! AH! Nolan is my assistant, and we are making this delicious Fettuccine Alfredo with Pancetta and Peas:
It is a crowd pleaser, and one of Nolan’s favorite meals! Don’t worry we only eat this rich pasta on special occasions. It beats going out to a fancy Italian restaurant because it’s waaaay cheaper, and you get to watch Netflix. Get the recipe and let me know how you like it!

Love your recipes
Thank you so much! You have no ideas how much this means to me!
Great recipe. I added a bit of Kerrigold butter to give it a smooth finish; overall fantastic.
Thank you so much!
I’m going to make this for my husband’s birthday dinner. What meat would you pair with this dish?
Thanks

Fun! You could add some grilled chicken to the pasta, or have my chicken cutlets on the side: http://thehungrywaitress.com/pan-fried-chicken-cutlets/
Shrimp or scallops would be good as well.
