Fettuccine Alfredo

Fettuccine Alfredo is a creamy, indulgent Italian pasta dish that features rich flavors and a smooth texture. This Halal version ensures that all ingredients are compliant with dietary restrictions while maintaining the authentic taste.

Ingredients

• Fettuccine pasta - 150 grams
• Unsalted butter - 40 grams
• Heavy cream - 120 milliliters
• Grated Parmesan cheese - 50 grams
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Chopped parsley - for garnish

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically around 8-10 minutes.
2. While the pasta is cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine, and let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
4. Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5. Once the pasta is cooked, reserve a small cup of pasta water, then drain the fettuccine and add it directly to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce, adding reserved pasta water if needed to adjust the consistency.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and extra grated Parmesan if desired.
