How to Make Fettuccini Alfredo

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine and cook according to package directions until al dente.
  2. While the pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth.
  3. Gradually whisk in the warm heavy cream, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until melted and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Drain the cooked fettuccine and add it directly to the sauce. Toss to coat evenly.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh parsley (optional).
