Tomato Basil Fettuccine

Just tried this new recipe which was a huge hit for the fam! It came from the Taste of Home magazine, so I just knew it would be wonderful!Tomato Basil Fettuccine

8 ozs cooked fettuccine
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon butter
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes - undrained
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup evaporated milk
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (or 1-2 tablespoons dried basil)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Saute onion and red pepper flakes in butter till onion is tender. Add tomatoes and salt; cook and stir over medium-high heat until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from the heat; let stand one minute. gradually whisk in milk. Drain cooked fettuccine and place in a large bowl. Add the basil, Parmesan cheese and tomato mixture; toss to coat. 4 servings.

The next day, I added some chopped up leftover chicken and a few tablespoons of milk which made an awesome meal along side my warm, home made wheat rolls!

Happy cooking :)
