How to Make Alfredo Noodles
- Boil 1 pound of pasta (penne, rotini, or your choice) in 4-6 quarts of salted water for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente.
- While the pasta cooks, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to low. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 ½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce.
- Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Alfredo! Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
