Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Alfredo Pasta.
Step 1
Begin by gathering all your ingredients and placing them on the countertop for effortless access.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine sweet butter and olive oil over medium-low heat, allowing them to melt together harmoniously.
Step 3
Next, introduce heavy whipping cream, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of ground white pepper to the saucepan.
Step 4
Gently bring this mixture to just below a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about five minutes, stirring frequently until it slightly reduces.
Step 5
Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, continuing to simmer the sauce for an additional eight to ten minutes, or until it thickens and achieves a velvety smooth texture.
Step 6
As the sauce simmers, add shredded mozzarella cheese, stirring until it melts completely, which should take around five minutes.
Step 7
Meanwhile, in a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 8
Add the angel hair pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until it reaches the perfect al dente texture, approximately three to five minutes.
Step 9
Once cooked, drain the pasta and elegantly transfer it to serving plates.
Step 10
Generously ladle the creamy Alfredo sauce over the pasta, and serve immediately for a delightful dining experience.
Step 11
Enjoy the rich flavors and creamy goodness that will transport you to a cozy Italian trattoria with every bite.
