1
Boil Water
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil over high heat.
2
Cook the Pasta
Add the fettucine pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
3
Drain the Pasta
Once cooked, reserve about 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

4
Melt Butter
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
5
Add Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
6
Add Heavy Cream
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
7
Incorporate Cheese
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.
8
Season the Sauce
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

9
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the drained fettucine to the Alfredo sauce in the skillet, tossing gently until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
10
Garnish
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
