Fettuccine Alfredo is a rich and creamy pasta dish made with tender fettuccine noodles tossed in a velvety Parmesan and cream sauce. Simple, comforting, and absolutely indulgent.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces Fettuccine Pasta
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese, freshly grated
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • Fresh Parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine until al dente, about 8–10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water and drain.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter. Add garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in heavy cream and heat gently. Gradually whisk in Parmesan cheese until fully melted and sauce thickens.
  4. Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. Add reserved pasta water a little at a time if needed to loosen the sauce.
  5. Season with salt and black pepper. Let sit for 1 minute to thicken slightly.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for best results.
  • Don’t let the sauce boil to avoid separation.
  • Add pasta directly to the sauce while hot to absorb flavor.
