*Johnna's tip: The countless things we love about simple Alfredo...1. You can add just about any seafood to it i.e. shrimp, scallops, etc., 2. There are numerous herbs and spices that taste fabulous in it i.e. parsley, cayenne pepper, etc., 3. It is soooo easy to make...It's basically a two pot meal with the pasta cooking in one pot and the sauce in another. You get the picture, Alfredo is an easy go to meal especially on a Monday, like today, when we really aren't up for much cooking...
