Instructions:
-
Boil Fettuccini: Cook the fettuccini pasta as directed, adding salt and a bit of parsley for taste.
-
Prepare Meat: Cook your choice of meat. For chicken breast strips, bake them covered with foil in the oven at 425°F for about 25 minutes. Flavoring the meat with garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley is crucial for enhancing its taste. The ham can be left as is.
-
Make Alfredo Sauce: After the meat and fettuccini are done cooking, prepare the Alfredo sauce. It’s best made just before serving to avoid clumping.
-
In a large saucepan, melt the stick of butter.
-
Add garlic cloves, parsley, and pepper to the melted butter.
-
Once the garlic has softened a bit and the butter is completely melted, stir in the heavy whipping cream using a whisk.
-
Stir with the whisk on medium-low heat until the mixture is almost boiling.
-
Add Parmesan and Romano cheeses until the sauce starts to thicken. Be attentive as this process doesn’t take long and the sauce can easily burn.
-
Adjust the thickness of the sauce by controlling the amount of cheese added. Remember, the more cheese you add, the thicker your sauce will be.
-
Add salt to taste.
-
After achieving the desired consistency, add your choice of meat to the sauce and stir on low heat for about 4 minutes.
-
Serve the Alfredo sauce over the fettuccini and enjoy the indulgent flavors!
