Directions

Step 1

Prepare the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add fettuccine and cook according to package directions until al dente, typically 8-10 minutes. Before draining, reserve 1 cup of the starchy pasta cooking water—this will help create the perfect sauce consistency. Drain the pasta well.

Step 2

Create the Base Sauce

While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large, deep skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Once butter is completely melted and starting to foam slightly, reduce heat to low. Pour in Holla Cooking Cream and stir gently to combine with the butter. Let this mixture warm through for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Add Cheese and Emulsify

Remove the pan from heat. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the cream mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk. The residual heat will melt the cheese and create a smooth, glossy sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water and stir until you achieve a silky consistency.

Step 4

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the drained hot fettuccine to the sauce. Using tongs or two forks, toss the pasta in the sauce, lifting and turning to ensure every strand is evenly coated. The heat from the pasta will further warm the sauce. Add more pasta water if needed—the sauce should coat the pasta beautifully without being too thick or too thin.

Step 5

Serve Immediately

Divide the Alfredo among serving plates or bowls. Season with freshly ground black pepper and garnish with additional Parmesan and fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately while the pasta is hot and the sauce is creamy and smooth. Enjoy this Italian classic!
