I learned the “hard” way that sometimes one minute might actually be too long. The first mini cake I made was so hard and crunchy that I had to cut it with a knife. I realized it was over cooked. It finally turned out just right after the 3rd time around with about 40 seconds.

FETTUCCINI WITH ALFREDO SAUCE


1 pint heavy cream (16oz.)
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
4oz cream cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup fresh Parmesan cheese
1lb. cooked pasta

In a saucepan on medium heat, combine everything except parmesan. Simmer this until all is melted and mixed well. Add the Parmesan. Simmer this for 15-20 minutes on medium-low heat, just until it thickens enough to coat a spoon.

Mix together with cooked pasta.

It's great with grilled chicken or broccoli, too.
