Ingredients for Alfredo Noodles

  • 1 pound pasta (penne, rotini, or your choice)
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Alfredo Noodles

  1. 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.
  2. While the pasta cooks, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. 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.
  4. Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce.
  5. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
  6. 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.
