Fettuccine Alfredo
A classic and creamy Fettuccine Alfredo recipe that's easy to make and incredibly delicious.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.45 lb Fettuccine pasta
- 0.23 cup Butter
- 0.47 cup Heavy cream
- 0.11 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1.5 cloves Garlic minced
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Cook fettuccine pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
- While pasta is cooking, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until it starts to thicken slightly.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
For an even richer sauce, you can add an extra tablespoon of butter or a splash more cream. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese makes a big difference in flavor!
