Method

Pasta Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Fettuccini

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, add the fettuccini. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  2. 2

    Drain the Pasta

    Once cooked, reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the fettuccini in a colander.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Melt the Butter

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt completely without browning.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Cream

    Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine.

  3. 5

    Add Parmesan Cheese

    Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.

  4. 6

    Season the Sauce

    Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.

Combining

  1. 7

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the drained fettuccini to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss gently to combine, ensuring all the pasta is well coated with the sauce.

  2. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley on top for a fresh touch.
