Why did my fettuccine Alfredo turn out dry?

[Serene]

Made fettuccine Alfredo last night, and somehow, it turned out super dry. Like, where did all the creamy goodness go? Followed the recipe to a T, but still ended up with pasta that's more Sahara than sauce. Anyone else ever face this? Would really appreciate any tips or tricks to avoid making my dinner resemble a desert again.

Hmm, a dry Fettuccine Alfredo? It could be because the sauce thickened too much or the pasta absorbed too much liquid. Try adding a splash of pasta water or extra cream next time to keep it creamy. It's all about finding that perfect saucy balance!

It sounds like your fettuccine Alfredo turned dry because there wasn't enough sauce or the pasta absorbed it too quickly. Next time, try adding more sauce or tossing the pasta with a bit of reserved pasta water to keep it creamy!

Oh no, that’s a bummer! Sometimes if the pasta sits too long or if there’s not enough sauce, it can get dry. Next time, try adding a splash of pasta water or a bit more cream to keep it saucy. Thanks for the tip!

Your fettuccine Alfredo might have absorbed too much sauce or the sauce reduced too much. Next time, reserve pasta water!
