Question:

Can i subsitute half and half for heavy cream?

This is the recipe. I am making dinner for my mom and i want to make a fettichine/alfredo dinner. I do not have heavy cream but i have half and half/ milk. What do you think? Do you have any other recipes for ths.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter or margarine
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
dash of pepper
noodles or fettuccine, cooked

Directions:

Cook noodles or fettuccine according to package directions. Heat butter and cream in saucepan until butter is melted. Remove from heat. Add 1 cup Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper; stir until sauce is blended and fairly smooth. Add to drained noodles and toss until they are well coated. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.


Answers:
Yes you can substitute the half and half but the alfredo won't be as rich as it would be with heavy cream.

Yes.

Not as rich but probably healthier

That is a good idea..healthier, cheaper, and it kight not be as strong but it will taste fine.
