Ingredients

  • 6 Tablespoons salted butter (high quality)
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic (minced)
  • 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk (1% or 2% can be used if needed)
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese (grated and at room temperature)
  • ½ cup Romano cheese (grated and at room temperature)
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 lb. Fettuccine
  • Parsley (to garnish)

Directions

  1. 1

    Boil the fettuccine according to package instructions. As the water preheats, begin the sauce.

  2. 2

    Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for one minute.

  3. 3

    Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously.

  4. 4

    Add the heavy cream in splashes, stirring continuously. Add the milk in the same manner.

  5. 5

    Bring to a gentle bubble, then reduce heat to low to bubble. It will continue to thicken as it simmers.

  6. 6

    Slowly stir in the cheese. Taste and season with salt/pepper if desired.

  7. 7

    Drain the pasta and carefully mix it into the sauce until well incorporated. The pasta will absorb the sauce and it will continue to thicken.

  8. 8

    Garnish with chopped parsley and serve!
