Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb fettuccine pasta
Ingredients for Alfredo Sauce:
- 4 oz salted butter
- 1 tsp chopped garlic
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 oz milk
- 1 oz White sauce base*, (see substitute for the packet)
- 4 oz freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper , (shaker grind)
- Fresh parsley for garnishing , (optional)
Instructions
Directions:
- Cook 1 pound of long pasta per the package instructions until al dente. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
- Melt 4 oz of butter in a deep 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of chopped garlic and sweat it until aromatic (30 seconds).
- Add the packet of dry white sauce* and whisk until no lumps remain.
- Stir in 2 fluid oz of milk and 2 cups of heavy cream. Heat until it's steaming hot but not boiling. Whisk in the Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Add the cooked pasta, swirling into nests using tongs, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve 100-120 grams of pasta per serving.
Notes
- A good guideline for Alfredo sauce to pasta is one part sauce to 3 parts pasta.
- A serving size is about 100 grams of cooked pasta.
- Parboiled dry pasta keeps well for service later. Fresh pasta is best cooked once before serving.
- To substitute the 25-gram packet dry white sauce base, use 2 Tbsp of flour and 1/8 teaspoon each of onion powder and nutmeg. Squeeze half a lemon into the sauce at the end to replicate the dry packet.
- Add protein like grilled chicken breast strips or steamed veggies for a main dish meal.
