Alfredo Sauce
Method
Making the Alfredo Sauce
Melt the Butter
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter.
Add Garlic
Once the butter is melted, add 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Add Heavy Cream
Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Incorporate Cheese
Gradually whisk in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Season the Sauce
Add 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper and 1 teaspoon of grated nutmeg to the sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the drained fettuccine to the Alfredo sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly, adding reserved pasta water as needed for desired consistency.
