Made with butter, cream, and Parmesan, this fettuccine is one of the most popular creamy classics of Italian-American cuisine. It makes a rich, satisfying sauce quickly with just a few ingredients.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Boil the Fettuccine

11 min

Cook the fettuccine in plenty of salted water according to the package directions. Reserve one 200 ml measure of the pasta water before draining.

2

Start the Butter Sauce

8 min

Melt the butter in a pan and lightly sauté the crushed garlic. Once fragrant, you can remove the garlic. Add the cream and warm it gently over low heat.

3

Thicken with Parmesan

4 min

Remove the pan from the heat. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan, then season with nutmeg and black pepper. Adjust the consistency with pasta water if needed.

4

Combine and Serve

2 min

Toss the drained fettuccine with the sauce and serve hot.

Reminder

Important: Do not boil the cream. Warm it gently over low heat until it thickens; boiling can cause the fat to separate and ruin the sauce. Allergens: contains dairy products and wheat (gluten).
