Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces gluten-free fettuccine
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1.5 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
Add the gluten-free fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes.
While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly blend in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and the sauce thickens.
Season the Alfredo sauce with salt and ground black pepper, adjusting to personal taste.
Drain the cooked fettuccine, reserving a small cup of the pasta cooking water.
Add the drained pasta to the Alfredo sauce in the skillet, tossing to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved cooking water until the desired consistency is reached.
Serve the fettuccine Alfredo immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
