	Busmamawilliams / All my dishes 1 year, 10 months ago I used to get this amazing fettucini dish at the Tick Tock Diner in Clifton, N.J.

Ingredients

3/4 pound dried fettucini pasta

1 whole head of garlic; roasted

1 can artichoke hearts (not pickled); drained

4 ounces sun-dried tomatoes ( either soaked dry or packed in oil); sliced in narrow strips

1 or 2 large portobello mushrooms; sliced medium thin & briefly sauteed in butter

1 can (approx. 8 ounces) pitted black olives

1 can ( approx. 4 ounces) roasted red pepper (not in vinegar); drained

1/4 cup ricotta cheese

1 cup light cream

1/4 cup grated parmesan or romano cheese

salt to taste

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cube of unsalted butter (if you only have salted butter, then don't salt this dish until you've tasted it once completed).

Directions

Have the garlic already roasted (I cut off top 1/4 of head, drizzle with a little olive oil & wrap in foil; then bake at 350 degrees for about 30 to 40 minutes; until garlic is buttery soft).

Put fettucini in pot of boiling water, to which you add few drops of olive oil. Lower heat & simmer over medium-low until "al dente". Turn off heat but leave in water while you prepare the following: In a quite large skillet, melt the butter over low heat, stir in all the roasted garlic that you've scooped from the head, add black pepper & ricotta cheese; stir well. Add the light cream & the grated parmesan or romano cheese. Stir well & heat thoroughly but do not boil. Now, drain pasta very well & add to ingredients in the skillet, along with remaining ingredients. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat pasta well. Heat completely over low heat. If pasta doesn't seem to have enough creamy sauce then add enough whole milk, a Tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency.

A nice green salad & maybe bread-sticks make this a complete ( and meat-free!) meal. Enjoy!
