Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 85 grams Fettuccine pasta
- 500 milliliters Water
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 60 milliliters Heavy cream
- 30 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Break the fettuccine pasta in half to fit inside a large, microwave-safe bowl.
Add 500 milliliters of water to the bowl, ensuring the pasta is fully submerged.
Microwave on high for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent sticking. Check for doneness; the pasta should be soft but still have a slight bite.
Carefully drain the pasta using a microwave-safe colander or by holding a lid over the bowl to pour out the water. Set the pasta aside.
In the same microwave-safe bowl, add 1 tablespoon of butter and microwave for 20-30 seconds until melted.
Stir in 60 milliliters of heavy cream, 30 grams of grated Parmesan cheese, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Microwave the sauce mixture for 30 seconds, then stir well until smooth and creamy.
Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or more cream and microwave for another 20 seconds.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the Alfredo to a plate or bowl, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
