So if you want another easy, quick, and tasty pasta recipe to include in your compilation of pasta recipes, this is a must-try and for keeps!

Ingredients
1 pkg. Fettuccini
1/2 c. butter, room temperature
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 c. freshly grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons flour
2 c. cooking cream
4 tablespoons Italian parsley, finely chopped
Black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
HOW TO MAKE FETTUCCINE ALFREDO
Step 1: Following the package directions cook the fettuccini in a large pot of salted boiling water for about 2 minutes. When done, drain, keeping only 1/4 cup of pasta water.
Step 2: Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic. Cook until aromatic, then add in the cream. Gradually whisk in the flour until the lumps are gone. To taste, season with salt and pepper.
Step 3: To the pan, add 1 cup of Parmesan cheese. Mix well until completely incorporated.
Step 4: Once the pasta is done, drain and quickly run it under cold water.
Step 5: Add the pasta once the sauce has thickened. Toss well until the noodles are coated. Pour in the reserved pasta water and mix well.
Step 6: Remove from the heat when done. Serve the Fettuccini Alfredo garnished with extra salt, pepper, freshly grated Parmesan, and parsley. Enjoy!
