Supplies

  • 1 package of fettuccine pasta
  • 4 tbs butter

Boil your fettuccine pasta! Make sure to drain and and run under water to cool the pasta so it stops cooking. You want your pasta to be a little short of how you want it so when you mix it with the sauce, it cooks the rest of the way.

Melt the butter in the pot you used to boil the pasta over low heat. Save yourself some work by using less dishes ;). Add the flour and stir until it is completely incorporated. All lumps should be gone and the butter should start to bubble slightly. SLOWLY add the milk into the mixture, stirring frequently. When the milk is completely incorporated into the mixture, add the heavy cream, asiago cheese, pepper, salt, and garlic powder. If you don't have this cheese on hand, feel free to use any cheese you have around the house. Bring the sauce to medium heat for 1-2 minutes and stir frequently.
