What's for dinner?

What is everyone else having for dinner tonight?

Fettucine Alfredo

Tonight we are having fettucine alfredo.  It's my Mom's recipe and is really fattening and yummy.

1 pt heavy whipping cream
1/2 stick margarine
1 oz neufchatel cream cheese (which is the 1/3 lower fat kind)
1/2 C. fresh grated parmesan
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dried parsley

combine butter, cream, cream cheese on medium until all melted and mixed well.  Add parmesan and spices.  Simmer for 15-20 min on low.  Serve with pasta and chicken (I'm leaving out the chicken tonight for our MEATLESS MONDAY!).

My Mom likes to place in a pan and reheat in the oven before serving...I like it that way too...I just don't have the time.
