Fettuccine alfredo

    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.
