Servings: 4
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound dried fettuccine
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 garlic cloves finely chopped or minced
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnishing (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cook the fettuccine according to packet directions until almost cooked through. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water, drain, and set aside.
- While the fettuccine is cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the chopped garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until well combined.
- Add the heavy cream, milk, parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Simmer over a low heat for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Add the cooked fettuccine and 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water to the cream sauce. Toss the pasta through the sauce for 2 minutes, or until the sauce is thick and silky, adding extra pasta cooking water if necessary.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the fettuccine immediately, garnishing with the fresh parsley, if using.
