Christmas Fettuccine
A creamy, cheesy, easy to throw together main dish! Pair it with chicken or fish if you like or eat it without any added protein. Really yummy!
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 package of fettuccine noodles
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 small shallot, finely diced
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups grated parmesan
- salt and pepper to taste
- torn basil leaves, optional for topping
- parmesan for topping, optional
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until to your liking.
- While the pasta is boiling, make the sauce. In a large frying pan over medium melt 6 tbsp butter. Once melted add the shallot. Saute for 2 minutes until softened. Add the garlic powder and give a stir. Then slowly pour in heavy cream while whisking. Once all combined, stir in the parmesan cheese and stir. This will thicken the sauce. Lift the noodles out the pot using tongs and let the water run off them. I like to do it this way as there is still a little pasta water on the noodles when you add them so it will naturally help the sauce become the perfect consistency. Top with torn basil and more parmesan if desired.
