How to Make Fettuccine With Garlic Parsley And Parmesan

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water (about 6 quarts) to a rolling boil. Add 1 pound of fettuccine and cook according to package directions until al dente (6-8 minutes).
  2. While the pasta cooks, prepare the garlic: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 4-6 cloves of minced garlic and sauté gently for 4 minutes, until light golden brown and fragrant. Remove the garlic from the pan and set aside.
  3. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it immediately and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
  4. Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet with the remaining olive oil. Sauté for 2 minutes until heated through.
  5. Stir in the reserved garlic, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper, and salt to taste. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated.
  6. Serve immediately. Optional: Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese, parsley, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Add grilled or sautéed shrimp, chicken, tofu, or small chunks of smoked mozzarella for extra protein and flavor before serving.
