Instructions
Step 1
In a large pot, heat water over high heat until boiling. Add salt to season the water. Once it is boiling, add fettuccine and cook according to package instructions.
Step 2
In a large skillet or pan, heat butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream.
Step 3
Let heavy cream reduce and cook for 5 to 8 minutes. Add half of the parmesan cheese to the mixture and whisk well until smooth. Keep over heat and whisk well until cheese is melted.
Step 4
Save some pasta water. The pasta water is full of flavor and can be used to thin out the sauce.
Step 5
Toss alfredo sauce with fettuccine pasta and add half of the parmesan cheese. Once it is tossed, garnish with the remaining parmesan cheese. Add a little pasta water if it needs to be thinned out.
Step 6
Garnish with Italian parsley, if so desired.
Step 7
Add cooked chicken (optional)
Step 8
Add cooked chopped broccoli (optional)
