Ingredients

• 12 ounces fettuccine pasta
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 3

Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Allow the cream to heat through (do not boil), then reduce the heat to low.

Step 4

Stir in the crumbled feta cheese and grated Parmesan cheese, allowing them to melt into the cream. Whisk gently to create a smooth and creamy sauce.

Step 5

Season the sauce with salt and ground black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 6

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add the reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 7

Remove the pan from heat. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve the Fettuccine Alfeta immediately.
