YUMMY, this is our all time favorite. Everyone that has come to a special dinner at our house gets this, and can't wait to come back and have more. I have given this recipe out so many times I can't count. It's yummy and easy. And to tell the truth, I have substituted boxed mashed potatoes when in a pinch. I usually do a pork or beef tenderloin with this and a good salad! Good Luck with your meal!!!!

Answer 3

Why is this addressed to Girls? Men can be good cooks too. Anyway here is the recipe I use to impress just about anybody.

Fettuccine Alfredo:
One package of fettuccine, cooked and drained.
One pint of whipping cream.
About 8 oz of Parmesan cheese.
About 1 teaspoon of nutmeg.
Dash of pepper.
Dash of salt.
1 - 2 cloves of minced garlic
About half a cup to one cup unsalted butter softened.

In a large serving bowl toss together fettuccine, cream, butter, and Parmesan. In a small pan saute the minced garlic in some olive oil, when the garlic is warm and beginning to turn brown add it to the bowl of fettuccine and toss. Finish with pepper and salt to taste.

Serve with warm bread, wine, and green salad tossed w/ Italian dressing. For desert serve small dishes of gelato or tiramisu with an after dinner espresso.

OR I WOULD BUY KFC AND THE TRIMMINGS...TAKE HOME AND SERVE ON YOUR DINNERWARE :)

Answer 6

I'd go for spaghetti and meatballs or maybe baked chicken with the trimmings. Don't try something wacky or too spicy. Make a salad and maybe fresh fruit for afterwards...elegant and not stuffy. Good luck!

Answer 7

Start off with wine and finger foods like crackers and cheese. Then keep pouring the wine while your spaghetti with lots of VODKA sauce is simmering, serve it while they're looped and everything will be fabulous.

Answer 8

honey cook them some hot dogs and pork-n- beans with chili and chips.
