Easy Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe
Fettuccine pasta with a homemade alfredo sauce made with 4 simple ingredients. Quick and easy fettuccine alfredo, the perfect vegetarian pasta recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic crushed
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese finely shredded
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- fettuccine pasta cooked al dente
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic, saute for 2-3 minutes, until it becomes fragrant.
- Pour in the cream and heat for 2-3 minutes until it is lightly simmering. Add the shredded Parmesan cheese. Whisk until blended and smooth, approximately 4 minutes.
- Add the salt and pepper to taste, continue to whisk. Sauce will lightly coat the back of a spoon, but not be globby or heavy. The sauce will separate if overheated, so do not raise heat above medium.
