Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces fettuccine
Olive oil, for tossing
12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 2)
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 cups heavy cream
2 pinches freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt generously. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente (tender but still slightly firm). Drain and toss with a splash of oil.
  • Meanwhile, slice the chicken into 1/4-inch-thick strips, and lay them on a plate or a sheet of waxed paper. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter melts, raise the heat to medium-high and add the chicken in 1 layer. Cook, without moving the pieces, until the underside has browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the pieces, and cook until browned and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a medium bowl.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. When the butter has mostly melted, whisk in the cream and nutmeg and bring to a simmer, then cook for 2 minutes. Lower the heat to keep the sauce just warm.
  • Whisk the Parmigiano-Reggiano into the sauce. Add the chicken and cooked pasta and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot in heated bowls.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sauce will taste. Use freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, real butter, and fresh herbs.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: Alfredo sauce is a delicate sauce, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it over low heat until it's just thickened and creamy.
  • Add the cheese gradually: When adding the cheese to the sauce, do it gradually and stir constantly. This will help prevent the cheese from clumping.
  • Season to taste: Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
  • Serve immediately: Alfredo sauce is best served immediately, while it's still hot and creamy.

Conclusion:

This creamy Parmigiano-Reggiano Alfredo sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for pasta, chicken, fish, and vegetables. The sauce is also easy to make and can be ready in just a few minutes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this Creamy Parmigiano-Reggiano Alfredo sauce a try.
