Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add fettuccini and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter into cream over low heat. Add salt, pepper and garlic salt. Stir in cheese over medium heat until melted; this will thicken the sauce.
- Add pasta to sauce. Use enough of the pasta so that all of the sauce is used and the pasta is thoroughly coated. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Drain. Stir 2 cups of the cream and the lemon juice in a heavy large skillet to blend. Add the butter and cook over medium heat just until the butter melts, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the pasta and toss. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of cream, and Parmesan to the cream sauce in the skillet. Add the lemon zest, nutmeg, salt, and white pepper. Toss the pasta mixture over low heat until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute.
HOMEMADE FETTUCCINE ALFREDO
This easy Alfredo sauce is creamy, comforting and coats fettuccine noodles in fine fashion. This recipe is wonderful as is, but sometimes I like to add sliced fresh mushrooms and black olives that have been sautéed in butter and garlic. -Jo Gray, Park City, Montana

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better your fettuccine Alfredo will be. Look for fresh, flavorful pasta, a rich, creamy Alfredo sauce, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and will not hold the sauce well.
- Make sure the Alfredo sauce is thick and creamy. The sauce should be able to coat the pasta evenly and should not be watery. If the sauce is too thin, you can thicken it by adding a little bit of cornstarch or flour.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Pre-grated Parmesan cheese does not have the same flavor as freshly grated cheese. Grate your own Parmesan cheese just before serving for the best flavor.
- Serve the fettuccine Alfredo immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can cook the pasta and sauce separately and then combine them just before serving.
Conclusion:
Fettuccine Alfredo is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious fettuccine Alfredo that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
