I wonder if someone reading this will recognize their recipe? I been wanting to try some of the recipes from the cookbook below. First up is Kate's for Fettuccine Alfredo; however I struck out finding fresh Fettuccine so luckily Linguini is Fettuccine's cousin... and that I did find at Cub. I've made Fettuccine Alfredo before but what really sets this one apart is fresh lemon juice and grated lemon zest.... yummmm so good!!! And making it with fresh pasta (i.e, Buitoni's) made it lighter than using boxed. Worth a trip to the south part of town.Recipe Source: MES Cookbook* from Kate C

*I have another recipe in the queue... stayed tuned...
Now, I want to share a funny story about Fettuccine Alfredo... in 1991 Mr. John spent 3 months in Germany working. About halfway through, the company flew me and the girls over (yes, I flew from NYC to Stuttgart Germany by myself and 2 small children!) Our friends Brian and Steph were on a 2 year assignment there and for 10 days we all took a trip to Italy. One of the stops was Rome and Steph and I really wanted to go this restaurant (below) so we went to the guy working at the hotel and said "could you tell us where Fettuccine Alfredo's is"... well, I'm sure he was just laughing on the inside thinking you crazy Americans!..... the restaurant was called Alfredo's not Fettuccine Alfredo's... anyway, we did go and had their famous dish! Everything was so white and sparkling and here the crazy Americans come with strollers and small children! I'll never forget this trip and the fun we had...

That was a great trip! Wish the kids could remember more of it. There was another memorable restaurant experience in Rome, remember? I also remember you cooking Fettucine Alfredo for us at home afterward, and it was as good as the original!
