One Pot Fettuccine Alfredo recipe
Description
In this recipe, unsalted butter, milk, chicken stock, minced garlic, salt, and cracked black pepper come together in a Dutch oven or skillet. The dried fettuccine cooks in this mixture, which is brought to a boil then simmered for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. As the pasta absorbs liquid during simmering, the sauce thickens naturally without added cream, and is finished by stirring in Parmesan cheese to enrich and add depth of flavor.
The resulting sauce is creamy and velvety, coating the tender fettuccine strands with a subtle garlic note and a balanced salty touch from the stock and cheese. This simplified technique reduces cleanup while delivering a classic Alfredo experience. It's best served freshly made with additional Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.
The recipe notes emphasize the importance of using unsalted stock to control seasoning and regular stirring to prevent sticking. Using full or partial fat milk supports sauce creaminess without heavy cream.
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 8 oz fettuccine dried
- 3 tbsp butter unsalted
- 2 garlic minced, cloves

- ¼ tsp black pepper cracked

Instructions

- Once liquid is boiling, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid has been absorbed and the pasta is al dente.
- Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan until sauce is thick and creamy. Season with more salt and pepper as needed.

Notes
