Happy Sunday guys! I hope you are having a nice long holiday weekend! Mine is going well. Today is my husband’s birthday and we are celebrating!

We are having a Birthday party in the house later today.

So my plan for yesterday was to cook dinner for two of us and then go out to see a movie. Well, the going out part never happened. You guys know me – I love to bake, so I decided to bake the cake for the party. While, my plan was for a simple vanilla cake and fill it with blueberry whipped cream and then cover it with buttercream frosting, at the last moment I decided that I wanted to cover the cake in fondant. I’m not that experienced with fondant cakes and it took forever to make this one. It turned out amazing and I can’t wait to try it later today.

The whole “cake thing” kind of ruined our going out plans. But I did cook dinner and we watched a movie at home (Mad Max). This fettuccine with homemade red pasta sauce is one of my favorite recipes when I don’t have a lot of time to cook and also we both love pasta.

I did make my own sauce, but you can definitely use store bought if it is easier. There is no meat in this dish, but at times I just prefer to go meatless. Add some meat of your choice if you’d like.

My little secret to the wonderful taste of this pasta – I decided to use Stella® Fontinella Cheese, which added a little bit of sharpness and sweetness to the dish.

I love Stella® Italian Style Cheeses because I can easily find them in grocery stores in my area. With their great variety, they make the perfect addition to a lot of my recipes. Some of the products I think you’ll love are the Fontinella® (used in recipe feature), Rosemary Medium Asiago, Fontina, , Italian Sharp, Mozzarella, Parmesan, Mediterranean Parmesan, Provolone, Ricotta, Romano and Black Pepper Romano.

Stella® cheeses are flavorful and combine old world craftsmanship with rich dairy heritage, dating back to 1923. From shredded to crumbled and sharp to sweet, the wide range of Stella® cheese products will infuse your meals with a hint of romantic flavor that’s sure to wow your guests.
