When we were in Florida this summer Mark and I bought Audrey a Ratatouille (Disney movie) cook book. Well Audrey asked if she could make dinner for us this week. She picked:

Linguini Alfredo with Petite Peas (recipe follows)

1 pound Linguini

1 cup frozen petite peas

4 TBLS butter

1 cup heavy cream

2/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp garlic

Boil Linguini according to directions on package. In the last minute or two of boiling add frozen peas. Strain cooked pasta and peas. Set aside.

Bring butter and cream to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until sauce thickens (about 4 minutes) when the sauce leaves a thick coating on back of spoon. Stir in grated cheese, salt and garlic.

Toss with pasta and peas and enjoy!

It was DELICIOUS!! Audrey did the whole dinner, with very little help from me, mainly just supervising and answer questions. It was great! Good dinner and great learing experience. We will let her try out more recipes on us!
