No reviews

You know that moment when you swirl your fork through a plate of Fettuccine Alfredo and the sauce clings just right, like it was meant to be there? Yeah, that’s what we’re chasing. This recipe is my go-to when I want something cozy, creamy, and wildly satisfying without spending all night in the kitchen. It’s a riff on my mom’s Alfredo. Over the years it’s become the dish I make when I need a dinner that impresses without trying too hard. Think date night, last-minute guests, or just a “treat yourself” Tuesday, it never misses.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

24 ounces dry fettuccine pasta

1 cup butter

3/4 pint heavy cream

salt and pepper to taste

1 dash garlic salt

3/4 cup grated Romano cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Get everything you need out and ready to go.
  2. Bring a big pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in the fettuccine and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, just until it hits that perfect al dente bite. Drain it and set it aside.
  3. In a large saucepan, melt the butter into the cream over low heat. Sprinkle in the salt, pepper, and garlic salt.
  4. Turn up the heat to medium and stir in the Romano and Parmesan. Keep stirring until everything’s melted down into a thick, creamy sauce.
  5. Toss the cooked pasta into the pan and stir to coat every strand. Serve it up right away, this one’s best straight from the stove.
