Over the past few years, Andy has been quietly perfecting his white cream sauces. Known in these parts for his outstanding reds, I’ve been gently encouraging him to branch into the creamier territory, for things such as fettuccine Alfredo or this pancetta and pea creation. I know it’s doing nothing for my wardrobe, but it’s doing wonders for the happiness of my tummy, and at this stage in life that’s definitely more important than fitting into a pair of slim fit jeans. (Jeans are overrated anyway.)
With its base of butter and cream, it’s difficult to go wrong with any variation on an Alfredo, and I’ve been reaping the benefits of some delicious trials without so much as a single error. He does a mean chicken and broccoli dish that I end up eating for dinner, then breakfast, and lunch, and dinner again. Pasta is perfect for fall comfort dishes, and ’tis definitely the season.
