🍝 Why You'll Love This Recipe:

• Just 6 pantry-friendly ingredients (plus a couple optional extras)
• Rich and creamy, with the perfect balance of butter, cream, and cheese
• Ready in under 30 minutes—perfect for weeknight dinners or cozy weekends in
• Easily customizable: add grilled chicken, sautéed mushrooms, or peas

📝 Ingredients:

• 8 oz fettuccine pasta
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup unsalted butter
• 1½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1–2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

👩‍🍳 How to Make It:

1. Cook the pasta
Bring a big pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook the fettuccine until al dente—tender but still with a little bite.
Drain, but save about ½ cup of the pasta water.

2. Start the sauce
In a wide skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add garlic (if using) and cook for 1 minute, just until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir—it’ll start to thicken a bit after a couple of minutes.

3. Stir in the cheese
Lower the heat and add the Parmesan, a little at a time.
Stir constantly until the sauce is velvety and smooth.
Season with salt and pepper—taste as you go!

4. Mix it all together
Toss the fettuccine right into the skillet.
Gently mix until every strand is coated.
Use that reserved pasta water if you want a silkier finish.

5. Serve with love
Plate it up and sprinkle with parsley (if you’re feeling fancy).
Eat immediately while it’s creamy and hot!

🌿 Farmhouse Tips:

🍗 Add a little protein power:
Leftover roast chicken? A handful of crispy pancetta? Toss it in. Alfredo is a perfect base for building a heartier dish.

🍋 Brighten it up:
A squeeze of lemon or a handful of fresh herbs (like parsley, thyme, or chives) can cut the richness and add a fresh twist.

🌱 Go garden-style:
Mix in tender spring peas, sautéed zucchini, or roasted cherry tomatoes for a seasonal veggie boost.
