Ingredients

• 12 ounces gluten-free fettuccine
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1.5 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.

Step 2

Add the gluten-free fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes.

Step 3

While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 5

Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and slowly blend in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and the sauce thickens.

Step 7

Season the Alfredo sauce with salt and ground black pepper, adjusting to personal taste.

Step 8

Drain the cooked fettuccine, reserving a small cup of the pasta cooking water.

Step 9

Add the drained pasta to the Alfredo sauce in the skillet, tossing to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved cooking water until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 10

Serve the fettuccine Alfredo immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
