Fettuccine Alfredo

Ingredients

• 1 package Valentes Fettuccine Pasta (any flavor)

• 6 Tablespoons Butter (or substitute with our butter infused olive oil)

• 1 Garlic Clove (minced)

• 1 1/2 cups Heavy Cream

• 1/4 teaspoon Salt

• 1 1/4 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese

• 1/4 teaspoon Pepper

• 2 Tablespoons Italian Parsley (optional)

Instructions

• 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. 

• In a large skillet or pan, heat butter/olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream. 

• 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.

• Save some pasta water. The pasta water is full of flavor and can be used to thin out the sauce.

• 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.
