If you were to ask my husband what his favorite meal is… this is it. No matter what occasion, this creamy fettuccine alfredo sauce is always a crowd pleaser and has that comfort food feeling about it. You really can’t go wrong with cream, butter, and cheese. Am I right?? Now, be prepared when you check out the ingredients list.. you are not making an arugula salad. You are making buttery, creamy delicious pasta, so don’t skimp on the butter and do it right. Your taste buds will thank you, and your hips can deal with it. Life is short. Eat the pasta!
INGREDIENTS
1 pound fettuccine noodles
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups shredded parmesan cheese (fresher the better)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 tbs parsley flakes (or real finely chopped parsley)
Total Servings: About six servings
STEPS
Boil pasta and prepare as instructed on packaging
On low- medium heat, melt butter and cream together in a saucepan

This recipe has an authentic, homemade taste and is EASY to make. Have you used the “alfredo sauce” in the jar from the grocery store? (come on, it needs quotes because it’s not even CLOSE to the goodness of this recipe) Well, if you even remotely enjoyed the flavor in that little glass jar with a paper label listing ingredients and preservatives we cannot even pronounce… then you will love love LOVE this dish.
Eat up!! XO- Jordan
