Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta
- 6 pieces Laughing Cow cheese wedges (original or light)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 0.5 cup pasta water
Instructions
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook until al dente, according to the package instructions (about 10-12 minutes). Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining and set the pasta aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the Laughing Cow cheese wedges to the skillet. Stir constantly as the cheese starts to melt and break down.
Slowly pour in the milk while continuing to stir, creating a smooth and creamy sauce. Adjust the consistency by adding splashes of reserved pasta water as needed.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is well combined and heated through.
Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta thoroughly in the creamy cheese sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired.
Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) and serve immediately. Enjoy your Laughing Cow Fettuccine!
