Fettuccine Alfredo

[Breadhead]

Easy and tasty fettuccine Alfredo... Pre-cook your noodles to al dente doneness. Set them aside. I buy the Buitoni brand of fresh fettuccine noodles in 9oz package. It serves 4 as a side dish or 2 as an entree.

The sauce...

Preheat skillet to medium high. Put in a teaspoon of olive oil. Finely chop 4 cloves of garlic, more or less depending on how garlicky you want it to be. Put the garlic in the olive oil for about 30 seconds to open it. Pour in a pint of heavy whipping cream. Bring the whipping cream to a light boil. Add the fettuccine noodles. Bring the whipping cream back to a light boil and pull the skillet off of the stove. Mix in about a half of cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and stir it with a fettuccine fork. The amount of cheese you use determines the thickness of the sauce. If the sauce is too thin, add more cheese. If the sauce gets to thick add more whipping cream until you get it the way you like it. I sometimes stir in some pesto sauce right at the end to add that flavor profile. Sprinkle on some freshly ground Parmesan cheese, freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately.

It's easy. Try it you'll like it as an entree or a side dish. As an entree I add sauteed chicken and zucchini. Or you can use smoked salmon, shrimp, crab or lobster.

Love me some fettuccine Alfredo, thanks for this.

Printing this up for the wife. She just asked if I would ask someone on here for a recipe. I was like, "duh, someone posted one a while back."

[Nate]

Sounds good. I like a little thicker sauce so may have to do some more cheese. Thanks for the share.

[Breadhead]

Be careful adding the cheese... if you add too much it will become a big cheese ball.🙄

[Nate]

Thanks for the heads up. I will do a slow add.

[Breadhead]

I use this dish more often as a side for steaks than I do potatoes. It helps to have some garlic bread to mop up the garlicky sauce too.😜

[Jerod Broussard]

Thanks!

[Breadhead]

It's an easy dish to make. The quanity of garlic used is the flavor ingredient. Adding the pesto has a very noticeable effect too.

We have made this recipe. It is fantastic.

Great recipe Mr Breadhead, but I'm surprised you didn't recommend home made egg noodles!

[Breadhead]

I've never made my own pasta...🙀 I have all the gear to do it but I've not found the motivation yet.🤔

Looks delicious Breadhead . Making me hungry for Fettuccine Alfredo.

[Breadhead]

It's a great dish to have in your culinary arsenal both as a side dish and as an entree. It is a very simple dish to cook. Give it a go. You'll be glad you did.👍

A fettuccini fork?

[Breadhead]

Pasta Fork is the proper term... https://www.amazon.com/HeyLR-Stainle...ag=amazi0a8-20

[Willy]

Breadhead. I wasn't picking on the terminology at all; I was just amazed that such a thing existed!! :«)

[Breadhead]

Willy ... it really is a handy dandy tool for cooking pasta.👌

BF makes a killer alfredo, I feel my arteries hardening as I think about it.

[Breadhead]

We drink more red wine than we're supposed to. Lots of coffee, tons of pasta and don't really believe what all of the so called experts say. My dad died at 86 which was a pretty good run. Your genetic's dictate when you're gonna die. Eating plain food to live longer is a lose/lose deal.

[Atalanta]

Breadhead - joke! if I was worried about what I ate, I wouldn't be here. Give me a nice rare steak and a bottle of wine anyday!

[Breadhead]

😎 you're good. Good food and good wine is what it's all about.

[fzxdoc]

Thanks for the recipe Breadhead . I'm eyeing that nice-looking piece of bread on the plate--I bet that's pretty tasty as well.

[Breadhead]

Oh yeah... that bread is used to mop up the extra sauce.😋

[jlazar]

We have made this recipe (without any changes). It is FANTASTIC!!!

Home made Alfredo sauce is the best and ready to make, I'm with on the garlic as well. After years of trying different sure bought Alfredo that was rejected by my wife, I finally tried my making own and it was better than expected, similar to breadheads, although mine is missing that tasty loaf of 🍞.
