Photo: Fettucine Alfredo Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound dried fettucine
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh parsley, for garnish, optional
Directions
Cook the fettucine in a pot of rapidly boiling salted water until al dente. Drain in a colander, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking liquid.
While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallots and saute until tender. Add heavy cream and bring to a boil. Cook until sauce has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Return the pasta to the pot it was cooked in, set over medium-high heat along with the reserved cooking liquid. Add the butter-cream mixture and half of the Parmesan and toss to combine thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and garnish with parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.

Yum!!! I added a pound of grilled sliced chicken and 2 cups of cooked broccoli just before adding the sauce to the noodles. I also made 1.5 times the sauce to allow for the extra ingredients. It worked beautifully. This definitely beats store bought, hands down, and it was so easy, why not make it yourself? This is now my go to Alfredo. :

This dish was great! I added 1 extra cup of cream and shrimp. I have a family of 4, but we couldn't eat it all. It does make a lot, and there was a lot of left-overs. I would suggest cutting the receipe in half; it doesn't store well and wasn't so great the next day. I would, however, definitely make this again and shared the receipe with a number of my co-workers.
