Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe 

Fettuccine Alfredo is one of those meals I know will bring silence to my dinner table. If you’ve ever eaten dinner with 3 kids under the age on 6, you know that a silent dinner table because of full mouths is golden.

The ease of this recipe makes it a no brainer, dump and simmer- all in one dish! If you have an Instant Pot,  Alfredo can be made in there just as easily! Check out my Instant Pot Alfredo and Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo Recipe if you want to cook the chicken at the same time!

How to Make the Alfredo Sauce

The best part about this recipe is that the sauce and pasta are made at the same time in the same pot! Included ingredients in the sauce are the following:

  • Heavy Cream
  • Chicken Broth
  • Garlic
  • Shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • Salt and pepper

FOR REAL! That is all that it takes for the Alfredo Sauce, just basic deliciousness! If you want to make the sauce separately from the pasta, try my Homemade Alfredo Sauce Recipe. 

How to make Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe

To make the Fettuccine Alfredo, whisk together in an extra large skillet or pot heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic, salt and pepper. Next, the uncooked fettuccine noodles go into the liquid. Cover the skillet with a lid and turn the burner on to medium high.

Once the liquid starts to boil, lay the lid partially on and partially off of the skillet to avoid bubbling over. Keeping the skillet partially covered will help make sure all of the pasta to cooks evenly.

Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. I have timed this multiple times and it takes about 20 minutes from start to al dente!

Turn the burner off and then add in shredded parmesan cheese. Use tongs to gently twirl the pasta, cheese and sauce together until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens. 

Serve immediately, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.

How to reheat Fettuccine Alfredo

As you can imagine, Fettuccine Alfredo is best eaten immediately after making the dish. If you happen to have any leftover (I usually don’t! It’s too good!) toss them in the refrigerator in and airtight container for safe keeping.

When you are ready to reheat your Alfredo, you can do so in the microwave or on the stovetop. I usually do microwave because it is much faster. 

You’ll notice once the pasta is hot that the sauce tends to break, and get oily. This is just the cheese separating from the sauce. Add a splash of milk at this point and stir to bring the sauce back together. This usually does the trick! Not as good as fresh out of the skillet, but it is super close!
