Method
Making the Fettuccine
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and crack the eggs into the well. Add the olive oil. Use a fork to whisk the eggs, gradually incorporating the flour until a dough begins to form.
- 2
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
- 3
Roll Out the Dough
After resting, divide the dough into four equal pieces. Roll each piece out into thin sheets using a pasta machine or a rolling pin. Dust with flour to prevent sticking.
- 4
Cut into Fettuccine
Once rolled out, fold the sheet gently and cut it into strips about 1/4 inch wide. Unfold the strips and lay them out on a floured surface.
Preparing the Sauce
- 5
Cook the Garlic
In a large skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add minced garlic (from the garlic cloves) and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- 6
Make the Cream Sauce
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, mixing until completely melted and combined. Season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to taste.
- 7
Add Fresh Basil
Tear the fresh basil leaves and stir them into the sauce just before serving for a burst of flavor.
Cooking the Fettuccine
- 8
Boil the Pasta
In a large pot of salted boiling water, add the freshly made fettuccine. Cook for 2-4 minutes until al dente, then drain.
- 9
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Immediately add the drained fettuccine to the skillet with the cream sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.

Serve
Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.
