Recipe Summary:

• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 20 minutes
• Total Time: 30 minutes
• Servings: 4
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 12 ounces fettuccine pasta
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
2. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, and bring to a gentle simmer.
3. Add the fettuccine pasta to the pot. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until the pasta is al dente.
4. Reduce the heat to low. Slowly add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is creamy.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Helpful Tips:

• For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free fettuccine.
• To make the sauce even richer, you can add a tablespoon of butter.
• If the sauce becomes too thick, thin it out with a bit of milk or extra chicken broth.

Storage Instructions:

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, add a splash of milk to retain the creaminess and warm over low heat.

Pairings:

This One-Pot Alfredo Pasta pairs beautifully with a simple green salad and garlic bread. For drinks, consider serving with sparkling water, a crisp white wine, or apple cider for a family-friendly option.
