Ingredients:
- Fresh homemade fettuccine pasta (from the previous recipe)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Homemade Fettuccine:
- Follow the homemade pasta recipe mentioned earlier to make fresh fettuccine. Cook the fresh pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water for about 2-4 minutes until al dente. Fresh pasta cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce:
- In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Add the Cream:
- Once the butter has melted, pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 2-3 minutes, reducing it slightly.
- Add the Cheese:
- Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the cream mixture, stirring constantly until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened. This will take about 2-3 minutes.
- Season and Combine:
- Season the Alfredo sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Remember that Parmesan cheese is naturally salty, so be mindful of how much additional salt you add.
- Combine Pasta and Sauce:
- Drain the cooked fettuccine and immediately add it to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss the pasta in the sauce until it’s well-coated.
- Serve and Garnish:
- Plate the fettuccine Alfredo and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, for a pop of color and added flavor.
- Enjoy!
