Chicken Fetttucini Alfredo

Today is the start of my new adventure. I would really like to hear from all of you...please comment on what kind of recipes you want me to post. Have you seen something and wanted to know how to make it? I will be happy to post for you!
 I think todays Recpie is going to be my Chicken Fettucini Alfredo. I LOVE the freshness of this sauce with the adding of lemon juice. lets begin.
4 Chicken Breasts browned in olive oil till cooked through. While the Chicken is sauteing start your sauce and Fettuccine noodles boiling.
6-8 TBLS butter (I prefer real butter NOT margarine)
1 Shallot minced and 1 clove of garlic
1 C. Heavy Cream
1 and 1/2 C of Parmesan Cheese
 1 tsp. lemon juice
a pinch of nutmeg

Kosher Salt
Ground Black pepper both to taste
Cook Pasta ~ Drain into Collander
While Pasta is cooking melt butter in a saucepan over med heat. Add shallots and saute till tender, add garlica nd cook very quickly so not to burn it. Add cream and bring to a boil..reduceing by half.  Turn down stove  add  cheese, lemon juice, nutmeg, salt and pepper and whisk thouroghly making sure your cheese does not clump or stick to bottom of the pan. Add your pasta to the sauce and do not return to heat. Put in a serving dish...Slice chicken breasts up and lay on top. Garnish with more Fresh Parmesan Cheese. Serve immediatly with a salad and garlic bread!!
