I haven't made this yet, but am going to tonight. The spicy sound of the blackened tilapia sounds good, but not to me right now bc of heartburn issues. So, I am going to combine the fettuccine alfredo from this first recipe with the tilapia recipe from the second one and see how it goes. The blackened is usually a favorite...so I will have to revisit it, or if you make it, you can let me know how it goes.
Blackened Tilapia on a bed of Fettuccine Alfredo
Blackened seasoning
1 TB Paprika
2-2/1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Onion powder
1 tsp Garlic granulated
1 tsp Cayenne pepper
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp Thyme
Mix all together well.
Prepare Alfredo Sauce (recipe follows) and keep warm and ready to top pasta.
Bring water to boil for pasta.
Rinse 4-6 tilapia fillets. Dredge in lemon juice and dust with blackened seasoning.
In skillet melt 1 tbs of butter per piece of fish and saute.
Start cooking pasta while pan sauteing fish.
Toss cooked pasta in Alfredo sauce and top with Blackened Tilapia.
Alfredo Sauce
1/4 c Unsalted butter
1 c Whipping cream
Salt and WHITE pepper
To taste
1/4 c Freshly grated Parmesan

Melt butter in a large skillet. When butter foams, add cream. Simmer over medium heat about 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and white pepper When your fettuccine has been cooked, drain noodles and place in the skillet with the cream. Add 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Toss noodles and sauce over medium heat until sauce coats noodles, 20 to 30 seconds. Serve immediately with additional Parmesan cheese. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

where do you buy tilapia? i always think it's so expensive but maybe it actually isn't.... how did it turn out? you can't eat blackened seasoning and i can't eat alfredo sauce b/c it's too rich for me.
I did go ahead and make the blackened. It was good. It would be fine without any sauce on the noodles probably. I found the tilapia either individually frozen at Costco or at Costco they actually had it "fresh" from Honduras or somewhere and it was cheaper per pound by a dollar than the frozen. So I just froze my own.
