Need fettucini recipe tonight

[knunes]

Help! I can't find a yummy recipe that I once made from CL. It's an alfredo sauce for fettucini, which contains light cream cheese as one of the ingredients. I did look through the indices of the past 4 years of CL and only found one fettucini alfredo recipe that contained half and half and butter and I know the one I used had light cream cheese. I tried a search on CL and found nothing under fettucini, alfredo, alfredo sauce or fettucini alfredo, so I don't know what I was doing wrong, but that seemed weird. Can someone help? I would love to make this tonight! Thanks!

Here's a good and easy recipe for Fettucine or Linguine.
Grated rind of 1 lemon
Juice of 2 lemons
good pinch of kosher salt
1 tsp. dried parsley
1/3 cup good olive oil.

That's the basics. Then you can add toasted pine nuts, green beans, chicken, tomatoes, shrimp..... anything.
This is a family favorite... even the kids love it!!
