Add Step-by-Step Photos	Girlieerin / All my dishes 1 year, 11 months ago There’s a brief scene in the movie The Holiday where Kate Winslet decides to cheer up Jack Black by making him Christmas Fettuccine.

Ingredients

18 ounces fresh fettuccine

2 1/2 cups heavy cream

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

12 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 cups grated Parmesan

2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

Pinch freshly grated nutmeg

Salt and freshly ground white pepper

Directions

Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Drain.Stir 2 cups of the cream and the lemon juice in a heavy large skillet to blend. Add the butter and cook over medium heat just until the butter melts, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Add the pasta and toss. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of cream, and Parmesan to the cream sauce in the skillet. Add the lemon zest, nutmeg, salt, and white pepper. Toss the pasta mixture over low heat until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute.

Note: Cooks Illustrated suggests heating your individual serving bowls with hot water before plating. This will keep the pasta and sauce creamy longer. No one wants to eat congealed Christmas Fettuccine!

So what do you do...try them out and taste them first or do you just submit the recipes? Don't they have a red noodle or maybe add some cooked red bell peppers to add for the real affect of Christmas, maybe even tomatoes! Kate Winslet, actually you had me there...she's a fav!

Craners, if you click on the link in the post above you'll see that I do try out the recipes and eat them too. The images are all my personal photos. I think roasted red peppers would be a great addition to the dish.
