Who doesn’t love a good pasta dish? Today, we’re diving into the one of the most beloved classics of Italian cuisine – the Fettuccine Alfredo. This creamy, indulgent meal is not only a restaurant favourite, but also a simple dish to prepare at home. So, let’s get those forks twirling!
You’re just a couple of ingredients away from the perfect, creamy Fettuccine Alfredo:
Ingredients:
- 12 ounces fettuccine
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup butter, unsalted
- 2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Grated nutmeg (optional)
- Parsley for garnish
Instructions:
-
Cook the Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water and add your fettuccine. Cook according to the package instructions until it is al dente, then drain, saving about a cup of the pasta water.
-
Make the Sauce: While your pasta is cooking, let’s turn to the sauce. In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt the butter into the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Once it comes to a simmer, add in the cheese and whisk until it is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Add salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of nutmeg to taste.
-
Combine: Add your drained pasta to the skillet and toss until it’s fully coated in that creamy, cheesy goodness. If it’s a little too thick, add some of the pasta water.
-
Enjoy: Plate your pasta, garnish with parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan, and serve immediately.
This tender, creamy Fettuccine Alfredo is a true piece of Italian luxury you can enjoy without leaving home! So, roll up your sleeves, grab your ingredients, and let’s get cooking! Buon Appetito!
Remember, cooking is like love, it should be entered into with total abandon or not at all. So, pour your heart while you pour in these ingredients and enjoy a creamy, dreamy, and absolutely delightful meal. After this, every day can be a pasta day! 🍝
