Pasta

Alfredo Sauce

Method

Cooking the Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Drain the Pasta

    Once cooked, drain the fettuccine pasta in a colander and set aside.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 3

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rub the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 5

    Slice the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

Making the Alfredo Sauce

  1. 6

    Melt the Butter

    In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

  2. 7

    Add Garlic and Cream

    Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then add the heavy cream, stirring to combine.

  3. 8

    Add Cheese and Seasoning

    Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook for about 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  4. 9

    Combine Sauce and Pasta

    Add the drained fettuccine pasta to the sauce and toss until the pasta is evenly coated with the Alfredo sauce.

  5. 10

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve the pasta in bowls, topped with sliced grilled chicken and chopped parsley.
