Ingredients
  

Pasta and Sauce
  • 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream Make sure it's Halal-compliant.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste pepper
  • Chopped parsley for garnish Optional

Method
 

Cooking the Fettuccine
  1. Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once it’s bubbling, add in the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes until al dente.
Preparing the Sauce
  1. In a separate saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the heavy cream and stir continuously for about 5 minutes until it starts to thicken slightly.
Adding Cheese and Seasoning
  1. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is silky. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If it’s too thick, you can add a splash of pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Combining Pasta and Sauce
  1. Drain the fettuccine and add it directly to the sauce in the saucepan. Toss to combine, allowing the pasta to soak up all that delicious Alfredo goodness.
Garnishing and Serving
  1. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy the warmth and comfort of your homemade Alfredo!

Notes

To keep the creamy goodness intact, refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. When reheating, do so slowly on low heat with a splash of milk or pasta water to keep it creamy.
