Method
Fettuccini Alfredo Directions
- 1
Cook the Fettuccini
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically around 8-10 minutes. Once done, reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

Prepare the Sauce
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Add Cream and Cheese
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until it is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
