Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fettuccine pasta
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup pasta cooking water
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining, then set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Slowly add the reserved pasta cooking water, a few tablespoons at a time, until the sauce reaches a silky consistency. You may not need all of the water.
Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss gently to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your creamy Sour Cream Fettuccine!
