How to Make Parmesan Fettuccine Alfredo With Chicken Or Shrimp
- Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
- While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add chicken or shrimp to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes for chicken, 3-4 minutes for shrimp).
- Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens slightly.
- Add cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat. Add a little pasta water if needed to achieve desired consistency.
- Stir in most of the minced basil.
- Serve immediately, topped with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Enjoy with crusty bread!
