Fettuccine Alfredo Pasta, Really Creamy Fettuccine Alfredo Pasta Recipe

I had my first Fettuccine Alfredo at Olive garden a lot of years back. It was one of my first meals in the US as we had just landed then. The creamy rich sauce was so comforting to the severely jet-lagged me feeling lost and alone in a far off land. Even the pickiest of eaters will fall for this delightful meal. While the traditional Alfredo sauce is made with cream and cheese, this is a lighter version of the original. I like this version much better as its so delicious and slightly guilt free. Its made with milk, cream cheese and Parmesan. Even though Fettuccine is the preferred type of pasta, you can make it with any shape of pasta. Spaghetti, Penne, linguine etc…

The thickness of fettuccine means it can withstand extremely robust sauces. It goes well with dairy-based, oil-based, or tomato-based sauces, and with sauces combined with meat, vegetables, seafood, or cheese. Buy Fettuccine Online – Click Here. Fettuccine Noodles is rich, and thick and very hearty. So indulge on your creamy Alfredo meal. My family enjoys this meal every-time I make it.

Here is how to do it.
Bring couple of liters of water to a fast boil. Add in a teaspoon of salt. Add pasta and cook for 6-7 minutes stirring occasionally. Drain and set aside. This will give you perfectly Al-dente (firm) pasta. You can cook a bit longer to soften it a bit more if that’s what you like. I fall sightly on the softer side. Sorry Mario Batali.

Heat olive oil in a pan and add in the minced garlic and dried herb mixture. Any store bought mixed herb mixture works fine. Saute for 10 seconds. Buy Italian mixed herb seasoning online. Click Here. Add in the milk and cream cheese. Boil the mixture for a couple of minutes until foamy and bubbly. Add in the cooked fettuccine and toss to coat. Add in the salt and Parmesan cheese. Go easy on the salt as Parmesan cheese is salty. Toss the pasta mixture over low heat until the sauce thickens and coats the pasta evenly. Garnish the pasta with chopped parsley. Serve hot!
Hope you enjoy the video!

PS – Don’t worry if it looks like there is a lot of sauce. The sauce will coat the pasta and the pasta will absorb all the moisture and thicken in no time.
