Ingredients
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant but not browned.
Step 3
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 4-5 minutes, reducing by about half.
Step 4
Lower the heat to medium-low and gradually stir in the heavy cream. Allow it to warm through, stirring gently, for about 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Add the grated parmesan cheese, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, gently coating the pasta in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, stir in a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 7
Sprinkle in the fresh parsley and thyme, and give the pasta one final toss to evenly distribute the herbs and flavors.
Step 8
Serve immediately in warmed bowls and garnish with extra parmesan cheese, a sprinkling of fresh parsley, and an optional lemon wedge on the side for added brightness. Enjoy your elegant 'Ooh La La' pasta!
