Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 2 ounces fettuccine noodles
  • 1 tablespoon (14g) butter
  • ⅓ cup half and half, milk, or heavy cream (*)
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of dried parsley ((optional))
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of pepper
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper ((optional))
  • ½ ounce (2 Tbs to 1/4 cup )* shredded parmesan cheese (for the smoothest sauce, use freshly grated parmesan)

Instruction

  • Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • When your pasta is nearly finished cooking, in a small pot, melt butter. Stir in half and half/milk/cream, garlic powder, optional dried parsley, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Heat until steaming, just before it's ready to simmer. Turn heat to low and stir in parmesan.
  • Continue to stir over low heat until parmesan is completely melted into the sauce. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Pour sauce over drained fettuccine noodles and toss. Allow the pasta to sit for 5 minutes to cool and sauce to thicken slightly.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and enjoy!
