Ingredients

• 400 g Fettuccine pasta
• 100 g Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and drain the rest. Set the pasta aside.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, being careful not to let it boil.

Step 4

Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring continuously until melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 5

Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper. If the sauce is too thick, add a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 6

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and serve the Alfredo fettuccine immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
