How To Make fettuccine alfredo
-
Step 1In a large pot of salted boiling water cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain
-
Step 2In a medium saucepan melt the butter. Add the garlic and let cook until transparent and aromatic, about 2 minutes.
-
Step 3Whisk in the flour and make sure all lumps are gone. Cook for another 2 minutes, continuing to whisk the entire time.
-
Step 4Whisk in the cream until lumps are gone. Cover and let cook until thickened, about 10 min. DO NOT boil.
-
Step 5Whisk in the cheese, salt and pepper. Continue whisking until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth. Taste test and decide if you think more cheese or seasonings are needed. Add if necessary.
-
Step 6Whisk in the milk, 1/4 cup at a time, until sauce reaches your desired thickness. More milk means a thinner consistency. But it will thicken slightly as it cools.
-
Step 7Spoon fettuccine into bowls and top with sauce. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
