Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Fettuccine pasta
- 4 oz Pancetta, diced
- 4 oz Prosciutto, thinly sliced
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Romano cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the diced pancetta until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pancetta with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Parmesan, Romano, mozzarella, and Gorgonzola cheeses one at a time, allowing each to melt completely before adding the next.
Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper. If the sauce is too thick, stir in small amounts of the reserved pasta cooking water to reach your desired consistency.
Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the cheese sauce.
Tear or slice the prosciutto into bite-sized strips and add it to the pasta along with the cooked pancetta. Gently toss to combine.
Transfer the fettuccine Alfredo to serving plates or a large serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Four Cheese Fettuccine Alfredo with Pancetta and Prosciutto!
