Ingredients

• 85 grams Fettuccine pasta
• 500 milliliters Water
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 60 milliliters Heavy cream
• 30 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Break the fettuccine pasta in half to fit inside a large, microwave-safe bowl.

Step 2

Add 500 milliliters of water to the bowl, ensuring the pasta is fully submerged.

Step 3

Microwave on high for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent sticking. Check for doneness; the pasta should be soft but still have a slight bite.

Step 4

Carefully drain the pasta using a microwave-safe colander or by holding a lid over the bowl to pour out the water. Set the pasta aside.

Step 5

In the same microwave-safe bowl, add 1 tablespoon of butter and microwave for 20-30 seconds until melted.

Step 6

Stir in 60 milliliters of heavy cream, 30 grams of grated Parmesan cheese, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 7

Microwave the sauce mixture for 30 seconds, then stir well until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or more cream and microwave for another 20 seconds.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Transfer the Alfredo to a plate or bowl, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
