Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
• 12 ounces fettuccine pasta
• 2 tablespoons 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 water before draining.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.

Step 3

Pour in the heavy cream and reduce the heat to low. Stir and let the mixture simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, allowing the cream to slightly thicken.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, a handful at a time, until it's fully melted and integrated into the sauce. Avoid overheating to prevent the cheese from separating.

Step 5

Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Add the cooked and drained fettuccine pasta to the skillet, tossing it in the Alfredo sauce until well coated. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, to reach your desired consistency.

Step 7

Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Pair with garlic bread or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
