Gluten-Free Fettuccine Alfredo

This Gluten-Free Fettuccine Alfredo is a creamy, indulgent pasta dish that combines rich flavors with a velvety texture. Perfect for a cozy dinner, it satisfies cravings while being suitable for gluten-sensitive diners.

Ingredients

• Gluten-free fettuccine pasta - 150 grams
• Unsalted butter - 2 tablespoons (30 grams)
• Heavy cream - 1 cup (240 milliliters)
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Parmesan cheese, grated - 1 cup (100 grams)
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Parsley, chopped - 2 tablespoons (for garnish)

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes.
2. While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir frequently for about 3-4 minutes until the cream thickens slightly.
4. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5. Once the pasta is cooked, reserve about 1/4 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
6. Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to reach desired consistency.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
