02 Step

While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. (Approximately 2 minutes)
03 Step

07 Step

Drain the pasta well, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water. (Approximately 1 minute)
08 Step
Recipe View
Add the drained pasta to the saucepan with the Alfredo sauce. Toss to coat, adding a little pasta water if needed to achieve the desired consistency. (Approximately 2 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View
Serve immediately, garnished with additional grated Parmesan cheese.
For an even richer sauce, use heavy cream instead of milk.
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is key to the best flavor and texture.
Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your liking. A pinch of freshly ground black pepper also adds a nice touch.
If the sauce becomes too thick, whisk in a little more milk or pasta water to thin it out.
Add grilled chicken or shrimp for a more substantial meal.
Using a whisk constantly while incorporating the milk to the butter and flour mixture can prevent clumps from forming, making a smoother and better sauce.
