The Sauciest, Creamiest, BEST Fettuccine Alfredo Sauce
Look no further — I've got the BEST alfredo sauce recipe right here! It's the sauciest, creamiest, best version you'll ever have.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter good quality butter is important!
- 1 tbsp garlic minced
- 1.25 tbsp flour
- 1 cup whole milk, 3%
- 1 cup heavy cream or whipping cream
- 8 oz fettuccine noodles measured dry, half a 454 g box
- ⅔ cup parmesan freshly grated
- ⅓ cup asiago if you can't find asiago, just use an extra 1/3 cup of parmesan
- 1 small handful fresh parsley for topping
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Cook noodles according to package directions and set aside.Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium low heat. Add the garlic and let cook for about 3 minutes. Heat milk/cream in microwave for about a minute, until it's lukewarm.
- Whisk in the flour with the melted butter/garlic until well incorporated. Add salt* and pepper to taste.SLOWLY add the cream/milk, about ¼ cup at a time, whisking constantly (this takes about 5-7 minutes — it's so worth the extra time!). Let simmer for 5 minutes.Begin to add the cheeses in small handfuls. Whisk quickly, heating through.
- Add the cooked noodles to the saucepan and mix with tongs.Top with fresh parsley and more salt and pepper if desired, and serve.
Notes
*Don't add too much salt to start with — the cheeses are already very salty.
This recipe makes two BIG servings, like you'd get in a restaurant. You could also serve 3-4 smaller portions if you're serving it alongside something else.
This makes a really saucy pasta. Feel free to cook a bit of extra pasta if you want to spread the sauce out further.
