Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and then add in the minced garlic.
Once fragrant, whisk in the flour. It will start to thicken.
Whisk in the heavy cream. It will thicken to a paste-like texture.
Whisk in the milk. It will start to clump but continue whisking until smooth.
Sprinkle in the parmesan cheese and bring the mixture to a low simmering boil.
Once the mixture thickens and becomes bubbly, add in the salt and pepper to taste.
Use tongs to add cooked fettuccine pasta to the alfredo sauce and toss to coat.
Top with parsley and extra parmesan cheese for garnish.
