Ingredients

For the creamy Alfredo sauce, you need:

• 1 cup of heavy cream
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) of unsalted butter
• 1 1/2 cups of grated Parmesan cheese
• Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

For the pasta:

• 1 lb fettuccine pasta
• Salt

Instructions

1. Start with boiling a large pot of salted water. Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package until al dente. Don’t forget to reserve 1 cup of pasta water for later use.

2. While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until you see it turning golden brown – this usually takes 2 minutes.

3. Reduce the heat to low, then pour in the heavy cream. Simmer for about 2-3 minutes until it combines with the butter.

4. Gradually add in the Parmesan cheese, stirring well so it melts into the sauce. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

5. If the sauce seems too thick, you can gradually add in the reserved pasta water.

6. Now, combine your al dente pasta and creamy Alfredo sauce. Toss until all of the pasta is beautifully coated!

7. Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil and garnish with parsley or even more Parmesan on top, and voilà – your perfect Fettuccine Alfredo is ready to be served.

This Fantastic Fettuccine Alfredo is the ultimate comfort food. But what’s better? You can jazz it up by adding grilled chicken, crispy bacon, or even some veggies like steamed broccoli or roasted bell pepper.
