What are you having for dinner this week?

I'm looking to plan out a menu for this week and am wondering what might be on yours. One thing I know that we will be having is a Fettucine Alfredo with chicken using this new recipe for the sauce I found this week. If anyone else wants to give it a whirl, here it is...

Alfredo Sauce Recipe

2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
2 Tablespoons olive oil
4 Tablespoons fresh chopped garlic
3 Cups heavy cream
1 Large pinch of salt
Fresh ground pepper
2 Cups Parmesan or Asiago cheese, finely grated

Place the butter & olive oil in a medium sauce pan over medium heat & melt the butter. Add the garlic & turn heat down to low. Stirring often so the garlic doesn't brown, gently cook garlic until very aromatic & cooked through. Next, add cream, salt & pepper & turn heat to medium, bringing to a gentle simmer. Allow the cream to reduce by about one third. Whisk in the cheese.
