Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 3 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 cups (1 pint) heavy whipping cream (, or half-and-half)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (, more to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning (, optional)
  • Kosher salt (, to taste)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (, to taste)
  • 1/4 -3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (, more to taste)
  • 1 pound fettuccine (, cooked according to package)

Instruction

  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and cream cheese over low heat. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Whisk in the heavy cream, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning, if using.
  • Increase the heat to medium-low and bring to a simmer. Simmer 5 minutes, whisking occasionally. Stir in parmesan cheese and simmer until melt. Add more parmesan, if desired. The more cheese you add, the thicker the sauce will be.
  • If using chicken or broccoli, stir into the sauce. Toss with cooked fettuccine until coated. Serve while hot. Sprinkle with fresh parmesan cheese and parsley on top, if desired.
