ingredients
For the Roasted Garlic Fettuccine Alfredo
- 16 ounces fettuccine pasta
- 2 heads of garlic
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
Method
Step 1
Roast the Garlic: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the tops off the heads of garlic to expose the cloves. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, wrap each head in foil, and roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, until soft and golden. Let them cool, and then squeeze the roasted garlic from the skins.
Step 2
Prepare the Chicken: While the garlic is roasting, rub the chicken breasts with extra virgin olive oil and season generously with salt and ground black pepper. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill, let rest, and then slice.
Step 3
Make the Alfredo Sauce: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the roasted garlic cloves, mashing them into the butter. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 3-5 minutes. Mix in the soy sauce and Parmesan cheese until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 4
Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil while the chicken is grilling and the garlic is roasting. Cook the fettuccine until al dente, then drain, reserving a small amount of the pasta water.
Step 5
Combine and Serve: Toss the cooked fettuccine with the roasted garlic Alfredo sauce, adding reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick. Stir in most of the freshly chopped parsley. Place the pasta on plates or in a serving dish. Arrange sliced grilled chicken on top. Garnish with extra freshly chopped parsley, roasted garlic cloves, and Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
