My children adore it. It’s easy to prepare and filling.

Ingredients
- 10 ounces fettuccini pasta
- ½ cup butter
- 5 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet melt butter and add chopped garlic. Cook on low for about 5 minutes, stirring often to prevent garlic from burning.
- Pour about a 1/4 cup of heavy cream into a small bowl. Add egg yolk and beat together; set aside.
- Pour remaining cream into the skillet. Increase heat to medium-high. As cream starts to boil, mix rapidly using a whisk. Add egg mixture slowly to prevent curdling, whisking until well blended. Stir in 1 cup Parmesan cheese until combined.
- Add remaining Parmesan cheese and parsley; mix until smooth. Remove from heat and serve over cooked pasta.

I used half Parmesan and half grated pecorino and Romano cheese. The sauce was was really light and creamy while hot, but got thick once plated. Next time I will add a little of the pasta water.
Not your typical Alfredo flavor. Not sure what to compare it to. Added shrimp which I think saved it. Too much garlic and too much Parmesan. It was okay, just not great.
My go-to for many years. I sometimes cut back on the garlic and parm. Follow the recipe as written and it will turn out perfect every time.
Simple, quick and delicious. When pouring the cream/egg it is very important to do it slow over a very light rolling boil.
As many have said, this is a great recipe! Two comments were helpful for me. I used unsalted butter which worked well as the Parmesan added the needed salt. I also cut back on the garlic by two. Delicious!!
Not the best texture, and too much Parmesan cheese. I’ll try to modify and make it again
Easy to make for late day at work. I added broccoli. Would you believe I didn’t have any eggs! Will cook fettuccine a little longer next time. Thank you!
I found it too cheesy more like Alfredo Mac. I wouldn’t add as much garlic if you can’t fully cook it .
Mainly, it just came out wrong. I have nothing against this recipe, but I would suggest sticking to the recipe because mine came out like this. I hope whoever reads this enjoys their meal. I just hope it comes out better than mine :).
If you want to eat pure butter this recipe great.
I’ve made this twice now, exactly as written, and it is so good. The whole family loved it.
I made this for my boyfriend’s family and it was an absolute hit. Everyone got THIRDS, and praised me for how delicious it was. I used fresh fettuccine from Wegmans, and added a generous amount of fresh parsley. I also added sautéed chicken!
This Alfredo recipe is to die for! The fresh cheese intensified the flavor. I used both Romano and Parmesan. I added veggies to mine (I am a vegetarian) and chicken to my hubbies. Oh sooo good!!! And easy too!
Yummmmmy.
very good
Very good. Cant’ keep your eyes off it, otherwise the egg with curdle. Excellent as written, did add a bit of finishing salt at the end. Will def. make again!
Very rich but very tasty
No changes came out great –
I made this recipe and came out delicious
It was so easy to make and absolutely delicious 🙂
Finally found a fettuccine alfredo dish the whole family LOVES. As good as our neighborhood restaurants.
