Method
Pasta Preparation
Cook the Fettuccine
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 and drain the rest.
Alfredo Sauce Preparation
Make the Alfredo Sauce
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add Cheese and Season
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with black pepper and salt to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Combine and Serve
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Garnish and Serve
Serve the Alfredo pasta hot, garnished with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
