Alfredo Sauce
Method
Pasta Preparation
- 1
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
Chicken Preparation
- 2
Prepare the Chicken
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat, let rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
Alfredo Sauce Preparation
- 3
Make the Alfredo Sauce
In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
