4 Cheese Fettuccine (2 ways)

I made one of my all time favorite fettuccine recipes tonight.  I made one to take to a family who needs some help getting over the 1st trimester of a pregnancy and one for my family.  I made the one I will take according to the directions.  I made the one for my family according to the way my kids will eat it :)  I have learned my lesson with mushrooms and try to do all that I can to eliminate it.  Because I will see most if not all on the plates after dinner is over.  They are nothing if not predictible.  But my oldest was mad when I took ours out of the oven.  "It doesn't look like the one you are taking to that family".  Why???  Well, I made ours without mushrooms and with shrimp.  Their's is with chicken. 

Now I will tell you that this recipe is not for the faint of heart.  It is packed full of all the bad stuff for you.  I go all out when I make this because I make it so rarely.  So why not splurge on the calories every once in a while.

Here you go!  Hope you enjoy!
