Make the Alfredo Sauce

Melt

To make the Alfredo sauce melt the butter in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat.

Add the flour, salt, and pepper to the melted butter.

Whisk

Use a whisk to combine. Whisk until the lumps are gone and the flour mixture is smooth. Continue to whisk over heat until bubbling.

Pour

Slowly pour the half and half into the pot while whisking. Whisk until the flour mixture is completely mixed into the half and half with no lumps. Make sure to scrape the whisk into the edges of the pan where some of the flour and butter mixture may be sticking.

Thicken

Constantly whisk the mixture until the sauce starts to thicken and comes to a boil.

Remove the pot from the heat source once the Alfredo sauce has thickened.

Add the shredded Parmesan cheese to the pot and whisk until the cheese is melted into the sauce.

Transfer the cooked fettuccine noodles into a serving bowl or large pan so you can mix the sauce into the noodles.

Pour the thickened Alfredo made with half and half over the pasta.

Toss the pasta with the sauce until the fettuccine noodles are covered with Alfredo sauce.

Garnish

Sprinkle with a teaspoon of dried parsley flakes and stir the dried or fresh herb into the dish.

Serve

Transfer the Fettuccine Alfredo to a serving plate and sprinkle with parsley and more Parmesan cheese.
