Fettuccine in Fresh Tomato Cream Sauce

“Steve and I went out to dinner for our Anniversary at a little restaurant across from the First Congregational Church of Soquel. We had prawns wrapped in bacon in a wonderful sauce. This recipe came from a Nob Hill flyer and was very similar to the sauce we had that night. It’s the kind of sauce that you want to lick the plate clean. You can serve it just over the noodles too, but with the prawns, it makes it extra special. I was very please to find the recipe for this sauce.” – Calla Ferre

“This is also quite similar to Shrimp in Tomato Cream Sauce.” – April Ferre
