Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Pasta and Beef
  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 1 lb ground beef (Halal)
Sauce Ingredients
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon (around 6-8 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Once the beef is browned, add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour the heavy cream into the skillet, stirring to combine. Gradually add the grated parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the sauce is smooth and thickened.
  5. Toss the cooked fettuccine in the Alfredo sauce, making sure each strand is well-coated. Adjust seasoning, if necessary.
  6. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey or use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. Watch garlic closely to avoid burning, and don't overcook the pasta as it will continue to cook slightly when mixed with the sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days, frozen separately for longer storage.
