How to Make Decadent Fettucine Alfredo Sauce
- Melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Stir frequently, ensuring the butter does not brown.
- Pour in 2 cups of heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to low. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency (about 2-3 minutes).
- Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground white pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Toss the sauce with 1 pound of cooked al dente fettuccine. Serve immediately with crusty French bread for dipping.
