Fettuccine Alfredo Ingredients
Method
Fettuccine Alfredo Directions
- 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 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Prepare the Alfredo Sauce
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic (thinly sliced or minced) and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Add Cream and Cheese
Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes. Then, gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Combine Pasta and Sauce
Once the fettuccine is cooked, reserve about half a cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta. Add the drained fettuccine directly to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time if the sauce is too thick.

Garnish and Serve
Remove from heat, and sprinkle chopped parsley on top for garnish. Serve warm, and enjoy your Fettuccine Alfredo!
