Last night I made this Chicken and Shrimp Fettuccine recipe for the first time. I left out the shrimp because I couldn't find any for sale at the market this week that looked decent (I refuse to buy old-looking or pre-cooked shrimp.) As it includes heavy whipping cream, grated cheese and bacon I can't call this dish is healthy, but I wanted to try it and see how it tasted, and then tweak it to reduce the fat.
Even without the shrimp I thought it was pretty good, and fairly easy to throw together. My guy ate three plates of it (he doesn't get much in the way of unhealthy meals around here, so he was probably in heaven.)

I think Greg would like this dish. But first I'm going to see if I have anything to substitute for heavy cream. It's not something I normally buy or can use up. I'd hate to see the leftover milk go to waste.
Thanks! Looking forward to trying this.
In the comments on the recipe page some of the reviewers used things like half-n-half, cream cheese, almond milk etc. to replace the heavy whipping cream. I'd check them out for ideas. I've used half-n-half as a replacement for full cream myself in other recipes, too, and it's worked.
