The Best Fettuccine Alfredo
A quick alfredo recipe that can be served with or without meat!
Any time I ask my family what they want to have on the meal plan for the month, my oldest is forever asking for chicken alfredo. We keep trying different recipes because I personally do not like any jarred alfredo sauce. This one is another from a Pioneer Woman cookbook. The recipe itself is meatless but you can serve it up with meat if you want. We did chicken, of course!
What You Need:
1 lb. fettuccine noodles
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Lemon zest
Directions:
Cook pasta according to package directions.
In a saucepan, melt butter with heavy cream and heat through. Season with salt and pepper.
Place 1 cup of Parmesan into a large serving bowl and pour butter and cream mixture over the top.
Drain pasta (reserving pasta water) and immediately add to bowl with Parmesan, butter, and cream.
Toss a couple of times and then add the other half of cheese and toss to combine.
Thin with pasta water as needed.
