Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Fettuccine pasta
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly grated nutmeg
- to taste Salt
- to taste Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining and set both the pasta and water aside.
While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Let the mixture cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring continuously until fully melted and incorporated into a smooth sauce.
Stir in the freshly grated nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing it gently to coat evenly with the Alfredo sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add small amounts of the reserved pasta water, a tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve immediately. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve the Fettuccine Alfredo hot with extra Parmesan on the side, if desired. Enjoy!
