  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups heavy cream or use coconut cream as an alternative
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika optional, for extra flavor
  • q.s. Chopped parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • Large pot

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Notes

To enhance the flavor, add a splash of white wine to the Alfredo sauce after sautéing the garlic.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat with a little cream or milk.
For a healthier option, consider using zucchini noodles or grilled vegetables in place of pasta.
Adjust the spiciness of the dish by modifying the amount of Cajun seasoning to suit your preference.
