During the holiday season, there’s just something comforting about gathering around the table for a warm, home-cooked meal. My creamy holiday fettuccine is a simple yet delicious dish that brings everyone together. With only five ingredients, it’s easy enough for a busy parent to prepare while still feeling luxurious and festive. This is a dish I love to share with my family, as it always brings smiles and a sense of togetherness.
This creamy fettuccine pairs beautifully with a crisp green salad or some roasted seasonal vegetables like Brussels sprouts or carrots. To round out the meal, consider serving a loaf of crusty bread for dipping into the creamy sauce. For a touch of elegance, you might add a glass of your favorite white wine for the adults.

Salt and pepper to taste

1. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

Variations & Tips
For a protein boost, consider adding cooked chicken or shrimp to the fettuccine. You can also incorporate some fresh spinach or peas for added color and nutrition, which could appeal to picky eaters. If you prefer a bit of tang, try adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce. For those who enjoy a bit of heat, a dash of red pepper flakes can spice things up nicely.
