How to Make Parmesan Fettuccine Alfredo With Chicken Or Shrimp

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