Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Fettuccine pasta
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons Nutmeg, freshly grated (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Once melted, pour in the heavy cream and stir gently to combine.
Cook the butter and cream mixture over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid scorching.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese has completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Season the Alfredo sauce with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and freshly grated nutmeg (if using). Adjust seasoning to taste.
Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss gently to coat the pasta in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
