Instructions
Creating Skinny Fettuccini Garlic Alfredo is simple and rewarding. Follow these steps to craft this delightful dish:
1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the fettuccini and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water and then drain the rest.
2. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn.
3. Prepare the Sauce: Pour in the low-fat cream, and stir well. Allow it to simmer gently for about 3-4 minutes, just until it begins to thicken.
4. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until melted and the mixture is smooth. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, adjusting to taste.
5. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Toss the cooked fettuccini in the sauce, mixing well to ensure all noodles are coated. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
6. Serve and Garnish: Plate the Skinny Fettuccini Garlic Alfredo into bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
