Fettuccine in White Sauce with Seafood

Pin It Now!

Occasionally my kids will order pasta in white sauce while dinning out. Since I have some heavy cream to clear, I choose to try cooking it at home. After searching from internet I find that it is not hard at all to prepare. Ingredients are simple because mainly cheeses and heavy cream. I didn't follow the type of cheeses recipe called. I just use whatever cheeses from my fridge. I also reduce the quantity of cheese too as I feel that 'too heavy and too cheesy'. 

Yes I manage to meet my kids craving but not my hubby and myself. We found that the sauce is 'heavy' with the used of heavy cream and cheeses although already reduce the amount. Can't take much at one go :P If happen to choose I will prefer pasta sauce with tomato base.
