Remaking The Perfect Olive Garden Fettuccine Alfredo | Delish

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a lower-calorie option with a cheesy flavor.

Boil a pot of salted water.

Grate 3 cloves of garlic finely until it resembles a paste.

Add the grated garlic to a pan with a little butter and a lot of freshly ground black pepper (about 1 teaspoon).

Toast the garlic and pepper in the butter to enhance the flavor.

Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and bring it to a heavy simmer, almost boiling.

Add 7 tablespoons of butter to the cream and let it reduce and simmer to thicken the sauce.

Grate fresh parmesan cheese and add it to the sauce, stirring until melted and creamy.

Cook the fettuccine for about 10 minutes in the boiling water, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Transfer the cooked fettuccine directly from the pot to the sauce without draining.

Add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of reserved pasta water to the sauce, depending on desired thickness.

Fold the pasta into the sauce until fully coated and creamy.

Serve the pasta, optionally garnished with parsley for freshness.
