Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fettuccine noodles (dry)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and set aside.
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Add the cooked fettuccine noodles to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Make sure the noodles are warmed through.
Serve the Noodles Alfredo immediately, garnishing with chopped fresh parsley for an added touch of color and flavor.
