Ingredients
- Unsalted butter- 6 tbsp.
- Garlic ( minced)- 3 or 1 tbsp.
- All-purpose flour- 2 tbsp.
- Milk- 1 1/2 cup
- Heavy creamy- 1 1/2 cup
- Fresh grated Parmesan cheese- 1 cup
- Nutmeg-1/4 tsp.
- Black pepper-to taste
- Salt- as needed
- Fettuccine- 0.8 lb or 400 g
- Fresh parsley ( finely chopped)- 1 tbsp.
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water ( slightly salted) to a boil, add fettuccini and cook according to package instructions until al dente or to your liking. In the meantime start making the sauce.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 40-50 seconds or until fragrant.
- Whisk in all purpose flour, reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring until flour and butter froth together, about 2 minutes.
- Add the milk and heavy cream, whisking vigorously to blend liquid and roux ( flour mixture). Bring to a boil. The sauce will start to thicken.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese, whisking constantly until cheese melts. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
- Drain fettuccini pasta and add into the saucepan with the sauce. Mix until well combined. It seems there is a lot of sauce for 0.6 lb of pasta, but the pasta will absorb most of the sauce and it will become thicker as well.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
