The Ultimate Comfort Food: How to Make Creamy Pasta Alfredo

Pasta with rich and creamy Alfredo sauce has to be one of the most decadent, indulgent - and gratifying - comfort foods going. Pure butter, heavy cream and savory Parmesan cheese are melted together, blended into perfectly-cooked al dente noodles and piled high in a delectable mound. A generous dusting of fresh-cracked black pepper is the crowning touch. Mmmm. What could be better, right? If you're in the mood for a rich taste treat, pasta Alfredo hits the spot. To boost the nutritional value of this dish, simply add fresh, seasonal veggies and lean protein such as grilled chicken or shrimp. However you like your Alfredo, it's a scrumptious serving of pure culinary joy.
