Fettuccine alfredo

Serves:

Ingredients

• Cooked fresh fettucine pasta (4 serves)
• 1/2 cup butter
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 cups freshly grated parmesan
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 cups cream, thickened salt and pepper

Method

In a frypan melt the butter and add the crushed garlic to cook for 2 mins.

Pour 1 cup of cream into the pan to heat gently and mix the egg yolk into the remaining cream with a fork.

Whisk the 2nd cup of cream in and heat gently. Just as the mixture starts to bubble add the parmesan 1 cup at a time, continually whisking.

Season to taste and add the cooked fettucine into the sauce and stir it through.

Note

• Don’t skimp on the quality of your ingredients with this dish. Because it is basically creamy cheese pasta, you need freshly grated parmesan and good quality fresh fettucine.
• Take care with the seasoning and be careful not to burn the garlic. If you do burn the garlic discard it and start again.
