Ingredients
- 12 oz. fettuccine pasta (about 3/4 pkg.)
- 4 Tbsp. salted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
- Pinch of ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1/2 tsp. table salt
- 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
Directions
- Cook fettuccine:
Heat up a big saucepan of water until it boils. After adding the fettuccine, cook it as directed on the package, just until it's al dente. After draining, set aside 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. - Make Alfredo sauce:
Melt the butter in a big pot over low heat while the pasta cooks. Add the garlic and heat for one minute, or until fragrant. After adding the cream, reduce the heat to medium and gently simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, or until the sauce has slightly thickened. Add 3/4 cup of the cheese and whisk. To taste, adjust the seasoning with pepper, salt, and nutmeg. - Combine pasta and sauce:
Toss the drained pasta lightly to coat it with the sauce. If necessary, thicken the sauce using a little amount of the cooking water that was set aside. To allow the pasta to absorb the sauce and cook the noodles through, cook it for one to two minutes. Spoon the pasta between plates, then top with the remaining parsley and cheese. Serve right away.
