Fettuccine Alfredo is essentially glorified mac and cheese (or more accurately, mac and cheese is a less glamorous fettuccine alfredo). I had a craving for some fettuccine alfredo on one of the multiple snow days we just saw in Philadelphia, and luckily I had everything on hand to make this ultimate comfort food, so it’s about time I shared a recipe for easy fettuccine alfredo!
This recipe for easy fettuccine alfredo uses just 9 ingredients, including salt and pepper. It doesn’t exactly reheat well though, so it’s not the best make ahead meal, but I have a good feeling it will be polished off in no time!
Ingredients (serves 4):
- 1 (16 oz) box fettuccine
- salt, to taste
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 8 oz Parmigiano Reggiano, freshly grated
- ground pepper, to taste
- fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
