Number Of Ingredients 7

24 ounces dry fettuccini pasta
1 cup butter
¾ pint heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste
1 dash garlic salt
¾ cup grated Romano cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. For the best fettuccine Alfredo, use fresh fettuccine noodles, real Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and unsalted butter.
  • Don't overcook the noodles: Fettuccine noodles should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and the dish will be ruined.
  • Make the sauce in a separate pan: This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
  • Use a wooden spoon to stir the sauce: This will help to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan.
  • Add the cheese and butter slowly: This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling. Stir constantly until the cheese and butter are melted and combined.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little spice.
  • Serve the dish immediately: Fettuccine Alfredo is best served immediately after it is made. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so it is important to serve it while it is still hot and creamy.
