Instructions
- Cook fettuccine according to package's instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large sauce pan melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and stir 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add flour and stir until mixture clumps together. Gradually whisk in heavy cream (or half & half).
- Add tomato sauce and basil and stir to combine. Increase heat and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and add cheese. Allow to simmer about 10 minutes or until cheese is completely melted and mixture is smooth.
- Add salt to sauce and stir to combine. Taste and add a little more salt if desired. Serve sauce over cooked fettuccine noodles. Top with additional parmesan cheese and basil if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Higher fat content milk will yield richer, creamier sauce - use heavy cream for the whole nine yards, use fat free half and half for some lightened up deliciousness!
