Instructions
-
Cook the Fettuccine: Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions, or until it reaches an al dente texture, which should leave the pasta slightly firm to the bite. This typically takes around 8 to 10 minutes.

Drain the Pasta: Once the pasta is cooked, carefully drain it in a colander, ensuring to shake off any excess water. Set aside for later use.
-
Melt the Butter: In a large skillet over low heat, add the butter along with the margarine. Allow it to melt gently, creating a luscious base for the sauce.
-
Sauté the Garlic: Add the minced garlic cloves to the skillet and sauté them for about 1 to 2 minutes, ensuring that the garlic becomes fragrant without browning. This step infuses the butter with a rich garlic flavor.
-
Add the White Wine: Pour in the white wine, stirring to combine with the butter and garlic mixture. Increase the heat slightly and let it simmer for approximately 5 minutes. This will allow the alcohol to cook off and the flavors to concentrate.
-
Incorporate the Cream: Reduce the heat to low again and gently stir in the sour cream and whipping cream. Add the ground nutmeg and chopped Italian parsley, allowing the sauce to heat until it is very hot but not boiling. Be careful not to let it boil, as this can affect the cream’s texture.
-
Add the Parmesan: Once the cream mixture is hot, gradually stir in the grated parmesan cheese until it melts completely and creates a silky sauce. This will give the dish its characteristic creaminess.
-
Season to Taste: Taste your sauce and season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper according to your preference.
-
Combine with Pasta: Pour the hot cream sauce over the drained fettuccine in the skillet. Toss gently to coat the pasta thoroughly in the rich sauce, ensuring each strand is enveloped.
-
Serve: Transfer the fettuccine to individual plates or a large serving bowl. If desired, sprinkle with additional parmesan cheese and a bit of chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
-
Enjoy: Serve immediately while the dish is hot, and savor every creamy, flavorful bite alongside your favorite garlic bread.
