Fettuccine Alfredo is a classic Italian dish loved by many for its creamy and indulgent flavor.

Making Fettuccine Alfredo at home is surprisingly easy and requires only a few simple ingredients. Follow this step-by-step guide to create a delicious batch of homemade Fettuccine Alfredo.
Heat a big pot of water with a little salt until it starts to bubble. Put fettuccine in the pot and cook for 10 minutes or until it's firm; then drain the water.
In a big pan, heat up the butter and mix it with cream. Then, add salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Turn up the heat to medium; mix in grated Romano and Parmesan cheese until they melt and the sauce becomes thicker.
Transfer the Fettuccine Alfredo to serving plates and top with additional Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and any desired toppings such as grilled chicken or shrimp. Put the cooked pasta into the sauce and mix it until the pasta is completely covered. Then, serve it right away. Pair it with a crisp green salad or garlic bread for a complete and satisfying meal.

Mushroom and Truffle Oil: Cook mushrooms in butter until golden brown and smelling really good, then mix them into your Fettuccine Alfredo. Drizzle some truffle oil on top before serving for a fancy and earthy flavor.
