Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Fettuccine pasta
- 4 ounces Spinach pasta (green)
- 4 ounces Tomato pasta (red)
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add 4 ounces of spinach pasta, 4 ounces of tomato pasta, and 4 ounces of plain fettuccine pasta to the boiling water. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
Drain the pasta and toss each type separately with a small drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Lower the heat and slowly whisk in the cream. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
Season the Alfredo sauce with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Stir in the chopped parsley and basil, reserving a small amount for garnishing.
To assemble, arrange the spinach (green), tomato (red), and plain fettuccine (white) pasta side by side on each plate for a tri-color effect.
Pour the fresh herbed Alfredo sauce generously over the pasta.
Garnish with the remaining parsley, basil, and an extra sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful pasta dish inspired by the colors of the Italian flag!
