Fettuccine Florentine

I first ate fettuccine similar to this at Nick’s, a wonderful little Swiss-Italian restaurant on the Atherton Tablelands. As I have a serious love for anything spinach I promptly decide to try and recreate the flavours of the dish so I could eat it at home too. It has since become one of our favourite pasta dishes and a staple in my kitchen. Thanks Nick!!

So you’ve found a potential match.  You like the same music, you get each other’s humor, like the same movies, both like to travel and take long walks on the beach.

Everything looks great and you’re heart jumps a beat as you get ready for that first date.  You make your way to the restaurant to enjoy an intimate dinner when out of nowhere your date drops the big “V” bomb. They’re a vegetarian or worse… a vegan.

So is it a deal breaker?  It’s not like they smoke cigarettes and you have asthma. But let’s face it, you’re a carnivore and that’s simply something you’re not willing to change.  You start to wonder…What’s next? Tree hugging?  Will you be subjected to countless, painful hours of yoga classes?  Your heart drops and the excitement quickly fades…
