1
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. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
2
Drain the Pasta
Once the pasta is cooked, reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the rest. Set the pasta aside.

3
Melt the Butter
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
4
Add Garlic
Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5
Add Heavy Cream
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir frequently for about 3-5 minutes.
6
Incorporate Parmesan Cheese
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.
7
Season the Sauce
Add salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.

8
Combine Fettuccine with Sauce
Add the drained fettuccine pasta to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss well to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
9
Serve
Plate the fettuccine Alfredo, and garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your creamy dish!
