A rich and creamy Alfredo pasta inspired by Olive Garden, featuring a velvety Parmesan garlic sauce tossed with tender fettuccine. Perfect for a quick and comforting meal.

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces fettuccine or linguine pasta
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter (¾ stick)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon table salt
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1¼ cups heavy cream
  • 1½ cups whole milk
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (from a block)
  • Finely chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the fettuccine according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until bubbling.
  3. Add the minced garlic, garlic powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the butter mixture and whisk until smooth.
  5. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and milk until combined.
  6. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil.
  7. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  8. Whisk in the Parmesan cheese until fully melted.
  9. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet.
  10. Use tongs to toss the pasta until evenly coated in the sauce.
  11. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and smooth texture.
  • If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it.
  • Serve immediately for best consistency, as the sauce thickens as it cools.
  • Add grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein.
