Luke's FAVORITE!! I use the food processor to prepare his special dish quickly!

Ingredients

• 1/4 c. Soft butter
• 4 - 6 T Parsley chopped
• 1 t. Crushed basil
• 12 oz. Cream cheese, softened
• Ground pepper
• 2/3 c. + Boiling water
• 8 oz. Fettucini (spinach is best....thus the "green")
• 2 large cloves garlic, minced
• 3/4 c. Shredded or grated parmesan cheese
• Large pot of boiling salted water
• Parsley for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Using the food processor, with the steel blade mince the garlic. Remove from bowl and sauté in the 1/4 C Butter 1-2 minutes. Cook noodles in a large amount of boiling salted water until just tender; drain. Toss with the garlic and butter until well coated. Sprinkle with ½ c. Parmesan cheese; toss again to coat. In processor bowl with steel blade combine the chopped parsley and basil and add the cream cheese and pepper. Add the boiling water a little at a time until thinned a bit, process quickly or stir well. Pile the coated noodles on a warm serving platter; spoon the warm cheese sauce over and sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese. Garnish with parsley.
