Chicken Fettuchini Alfredo step by step

  1. Start water for pasta. Make sure to use a large pot with a lot of water and salt so the pasta has room to move around and is well seasoned. Once the pasta water is about to a simmer, mince the garlic..
  2. Melt the butter in a medium pot, add the garlic. Cook the garlic for about two minutes on medium heat..
  3. While the garlic is cooking, cut the cream cheese into cubes. Add to the butter and stir with a wisk until it is creamy and incorporated..
  4. Add the milk slowly, a little at a time making sure it is fully incorporated before adding more..
  5. Stir in the parmesan cheese, salt and pepper..
  6. Let the mixture boil for a few minutes, stirring it often..
  7. Remove from the heat and it will thicken a little more..
  8. If you timed it right your pasta should be done right now so add the hot fettuchini noodles directly into the sauce. If they're not done yet you may have to add a splash of milk to the sauce if it gets too thick while you're waiting..
  9. I use half the box of pasta which feeds me and my boyfriend, and there is a little left for him to take to work for lunch. So if you need to feed more I would say just double the sauce recipe and use a whole box of pasta..

Craving a comforting bowl of pasta in a creamy sauce? The "Alfredo" in fettuccine Alfredo is Alfredo di Lelio who operated a restaurant in Rome. I present both Fettuccine Alfredo versions here — the classic and the creamy. Real alfredo should never (never!) include cream; the silky sauce is the result of an emulsion between the grated cheese, melted butter, and starchy pasta water. Bring the water and salt to a rolling boil in a large stock pot.
