Ingredients
- 400 grams Fettuccine pasta
- 85 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 milliliters Heavy cream
- 120 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 10-12 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a large pan over medium heat.
Step 3
Stir in the heavy cream and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture is warmed through.
Step 4
Lower the heat to medium-low and slowly whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese has fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 5
Season the sauce with salt and ground black pepper. Adjust quantities as desired to taste.
Step 6
Add the drained fettuccine pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat the noodles evenly. If the sauce is too thick, slowly add the reserved pasta water, a few tablespoons at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 7
Cook the pasta in the sauce for another 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Serve the Fettuccine All'Alfredo immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
