Fettuccine alfredo is a rich and decadent pasta dish. The main steps in making this dish include cooking the fettuccine pasta and making the alfredo sauce. While it may seem difficult to do, knowing the right steps can make cooking fettuccine alfredo much easier.
Instructions
1. Put a saucepan on a burner on the stovetop. Turn the burner onto medium heat.
2. Melt 1 1/2 oz. of butter in the saucepan. Be careful not to let the butter brown while it melts.
3. Add 1 qt. of heavy cream to the melted butter in the saucepan.
4. Place 1/2 tsp. of pepper and 1/2 tsp. of salt into the saucepan with the other ingredients.
5. Stir the ingredients in the saucepan with a whisk. You will want to make sure that you stir the contents of the saucepan occasionally while cooking.
6. Allow the sauce to cook over medium heat. The sauce will bubble up a bit during cooking.
7. Take note of the alfredo sauce's texture at this point. It has a very runny, almost watery, texture and does not coat or stick to the whisk.
8. Combine the cooked fettuccine pasta and alfredo sauce and serve with a garden salad and hot garlic bread.
