Classic Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot for the fettuccine. Be sure to salt the water properly. Cook according to package directions, until pasta is just al dente.
  • Simmer the cream in a 12" skillet over medium heat until it has thickened (it will reduce in volume to about 1 1/2 cups). Whisk in the butter and nutmeg, season with pepper to taste.
  • Once the pasta is cooked, drain and return to pot. Put half the pasta into serving dish, add 1/2 the sauce and half the cheese. Add remaining pasta, sauce and cheese. Toss to coat evenly. Add reserved water to thin sauce as needed. Salt as needed.
  • Optional: This dish is easily paired with grilled chicken and asparagus or peas, prosciutto and toasted pine nuts. Simple add to dish when tossing pasta. There are many other add ins that would be great with this!
