Equipment
- Large skillet
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (3 ounces)
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 ¾ cups half & half
- 1 ¾ cups freshly grated parmesan cheese from the block
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- flat leaf parsley minced
- freshly ground black pepper
- cooked fettucine noodles
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds or so. Don't let the garlic burn.
- Add the flour and salt to the butter and stir until the flour isn't lumpy anymore, about 30 seconds.
- While stirring, slowly pour the half in half into the butter mixture, about ½ cup at a time. At first it will look lumpy. Continue to stir until the mixture turns into a smooth white sauce.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the freshly grated parmesan cheese. Stir until smooth. Stir in minced parsley, Italian seasoning, and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Add the cooked fettucine noodles directly into the skillet and toss until well combined. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of minced parsley and kosher salt.
