This Extra Creamy Alfredo Fettuccine is the ultimate indulgent comfort dish. Built on a base of fragrant garlic sautéed in butter, the sauce is elevated with heavy cream, room-temperature cream cheese for added richness, and loads of grated Parmesan. Perfectly cooked fettuccine is tossed into the sauce, with a splash of pasta water to ensure every strand is perfectly coated. Seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, this dish is decadent, quick, and unforgettable—ideal for any pasta lover.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Cream Cheese Room Temperature Magic 🧀
    Always let cream cheese sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before using to ensure it melts smoothly and integrates seamlessly into the Alfredo sauce without lumps.
  • Pasta Water: Liquid Gold 💧
    Reserve at least 1 cup of pasta water before draining; its starchy composition is crucial for creating a silky, emulsified sauce that clings perfectly to the fettuccine.
  • Garlic Sauté Secret 🧄
    Sauté minced garlic in butter at medium-low heat just until fragrant, about 30-45 seconds, to prevent burning and ensure a sweet, mellow garlic flavor.
  • Cheese Melting Technique 🧈
    Gradually whisk in grated Parmesan off the direct heat to prevent separation and achieve a smooth, creamy consistency without graininess.
  • Final Toss Perfection 🍝
    When combining pasta with sauce, toss vigorously for 30-45 seconds to help the sauce fully coat each strand and create a cohesive, luxurious dish.
