Best Ever Fettuccine Alfredo

Ingredients

  • 10 ounces fettuccine pasta
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 5 -6 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 cups freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley

Method

  2. Cook the fettuccine in the water for 8 to 10 minutes until al dente, then drain it. Melt the butter in a large skillet and stir in the chopped garlic.
  3. Let the garlic cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent it from burning. Take a small bowl and pour in roughly 1/4 cup of the heavy cream.
  4. Beat the egg yolk into this cream and set the mixture aside.

  6. Turn the heat up to medium-high.
  7. Once the cream begins to boil, whisk it vigorously.
  8. Gradually pour in the reserved cream and egg yolk mixture.
  9. It is important to avoid cooking the egg.
  10. Keep whisking the sauce until it is fully combined.
  11. Stir in 1 cup of the Parmesan cheese, continuing to mix it into the cream.
  12. Add the rest of the Parmesan cheese and the dried parsley, whisking until the sauce is smooth.
  13. Take the skillet off the heat straight away.
  14. Toss the sauce with the cooked pasta and serve.
