Ingredients
Pasta:
16 oz fettuccine or linguine
Alfredo Sauce:
6 tablespoons salted butter
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ¼ cups heavy cream
1 ½ cups whole milk
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
For Serving:
Fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
Cook the pasta
Cook fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Melt the butter
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter until bubbling.
Add garlic and seasoning
Stir in minced garlic, garlic powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
Make the roux
Sprinkle flour over the mixture and whisk until smooth and slightly thickened.
Add liquids
Slowly pour in heavy cream and milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
Simmer the sauce
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened.
Add cheese
Stir in Parmesan cheese and whisk until fully melted and smooth.
Combine with pasta
Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until evenly coated.
Serve
Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best texture and flavor.
Keep heat moderate to prevent the sauce from separating.
If sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it.
Best served fresh, but leftovers can be reheated gently with added milk.
