The Best Alfredo Pasta Recipe (Under 20 minutes)
Description
The Best Alfredo Pasta Recipe uses one pound of pasta cooked according to package directions until al dente. While the pasta cooks, the Alfredo sauce is preheated gently on low heat to avoid curdling. Once pasta is drained, it is tossed with the warm Alfredo sauce allowing the noodles to absorb some of the creaminess. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is sprinkled on top to add a savory, slightly sharp touch that complements the smooth sauce.
This dish is best served immediately while the sauce is hot and coats the pasta evenly. It works well as a simple main dish or side, pairing nicely with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
Ingredients
- 1 lb pasta (spaghetti, linguini or fettuccine)
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions. On low heat, preheat your Alfredo sauce in a deep skillet. Add the cooked pasta to the Alfredo Sauce.
- Stir to combine the Alfredo sauce with the pasta. Remove from heat.
- Serve pasta right away while the alfredo is still really warm. Sprinkle with fresh Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
