Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) fettuccine
- 4 cups (946 milliliters) chicken broth
- 1 cup (100 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Flavor Enhancers:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) heavy cream
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Place fettuccine, minced garlic, and chicken broth into a large pot, bringing the mixture to a vigorous boil over high heat.
- Lower temperature to medium, continuously stirring the pasta to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. Allow the liquid to slowly reduce while the pasta absorbs the flavorful broth, approximately 12-15 minutes.
- Once pasta reaches al dente consistency, remove from heat and introduce grated Parmesan cheese and rich heavy cream. Gently fold ingredients together until a smooth, creamy sauce forms.
- Season the pasta with salt and freshly ground black pepper, tasting and adjusting seasoning as needed.
- Transfer to serving dishes, creating an elegant swirl with a pasta fork to showcase the creamy texture.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a vibrant garnish and additional layer of flavor.
- Serve immediately while the pasta is hot and the sauce remains silky and luxurious.
Notes
- Select high-quality Parmesan cheese for maximum flavor depth and creamy texture.
- Use fresh garlic cloves instead of pre-minced for a more robust and authentic taste profile.
- Adjust liquid ratio if you prefer a thicker or more saucy consistency by adding extra broth or cream gradually.
- Customize the dish by adding protein like grilled chicken, shrimp, or crispy pancetta for a more substantial meal.
