About

Fettuccine Alfredo is listed as pasta from Italy. The steps below are the imported TheMealDB method, not an editorial rewrite. Times shown are typical kitchen times, because the source method did not list minutes.

Ingredients

Scaling multiplies the written quantities. Baking still prefers a scale.

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Cook pasta according to package instructions in a large pot of boiling water and salt. Add heavy cream and butter to a large skillet over medium heat until the cream bubbles and the butter melts.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk in parmesan and add seasoning (salt and black pepper). Let the sauce thicken slightly and then add the pasta and toss until coated in sauce.

  3. Step 3

    Garnish with parsley, and it's ready.
