Ingredients
- 12 ounces fettuccine pasta
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup pasta cooking water
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining, then set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Slowly add the reserved pasta cooking water, a few tablespoons at a time, until the sauce reaches a silky consistency. You may not need all of the water.
Step 5
Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss gently to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Step 7
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Step 8
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your creamy Sour Cream Fettuccine!
