Description

Cheesy. Creamy. Savory. It’s the delicious sauce your pasta has been waiting for! This classic alfredo sauce takes minutes to make and you can have a full meal created in under 20 minutes. The added parsley and oregano gives it a twist that will have your guest coming back for not just seconds, but thirds! 


Ingredients

Scale
  • c. unsalted butter
  • 1 c. heavy cream
  • 2 ½ c. freshly grated parmesan or half parmesan/half pecorino romano cheese
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp. chopped fresh parsley
  • ½ tsp. freshly chopped oregano
  • 11 ½ lb. fettuccine, linguine or spaghetti

Instructions

Pasta:

  1. Bring water to a boil in a large pot and add a handful of salt to the water.
  2. Add in pasta and cook until al dente, approximately 8-13 minutes. 

Alfredo Sauce:

  1. In a large pan with high sides, melt butter on low heat.

  2. Once the butter is melted, mix in the minced garlic.

  3. Increase the heat slightly and graciously pour the heavy cream into the pan while whisking to combine with the melted butter and garlic.

  4. Continue to whisk as the mixture simmers for 5 minutes.

  5. Add in the cheese and whisk quickly until all cheese is melted.

  6. Mix in 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley, oregano and 1 teaspoon ground black pepper.

Assembly:

  1. Once mixed, use tongs to remove all the fettuccine and place directly into the alfredo sauce.
  2. Mix together so all pasta is coated with the cheese mixture.
  3. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with extra fresh parsley, ground black pepper, and grated parmesan cheese.  

Notes

  • Start cooking the pasta first, prepping your ingredients until you have 6-7 minutes to cook left for your pasta.
