Sara Evans's Peas and Mushroom Alfredo

Tim McGraw may prefer that old fashioned, down-home style of cooking like Chicken and Dumplings, but not every Country Music Star eats Southern.

“Good Housekeeping Magazine” recently printed a Sara Evans’s favorite recipe. The “Cheatin’” and “Real Fine Place To Start” singer chose an Italian influenced entree that would appeal to an audience wider than her Country Music fan base.

Sara Evans’s Peas and Mushroom Alfredo is as up-to-date and trendy “As If” it came from a New York Bistro.

Sara Evans’s Peas and Mushroom Alfredo:

1 pound of fettuccine pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 10 ounce package sliced mushrooms
1 15 to 18 ounce jar Alfredo Sauce
1 10 ounce package frozen peas
1 to 2 cups grated Romano Cheese

Cook the fettuccini in a large saucepan, and set aside. Meanwhile in a large saute pan, heat the olive oil and saute the mushrooms until lightly browned. Add Alfredo sauce and peas and heat through. Grate the cheese with a cheese grater. Stir in one cup of the cheese.

Drain the fettuccini in a colander. In a large serving type bowl, toss the fettuccine and Alfredo sauce mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with the remaining Romano Cheese.

Serves 6.
