Ah, Fettuccine Alfredo—a rich, creamy Italian classic! Let’s break it down:
Dish Components
- Fettuccine Pasta
- Wide, flat noodles that hold creamy sauces beautifully.
- Usually cooked al dente so they have a slight bite.
- Alfredo Sauce
- Traditionally made with just butter, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese.
- Creamy, velvety, and cheesy—luxurious but simple.
- Seasoned lightly with salt, pepper, and sometimes a pinch of nutmeg.
- Optional Add-Ins
- Grilled chicken, shrimp, or vegetables like broccoli or peas are often added for extra texture and flavor.
Serving Suggestion
- Toss the cooked fettuccine with the Alfredo sauce until fully coated.
- Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan and chopped parsley for color.
- Serve hot, ideally with garlic bread or a simple green salad.
