Fettuccine Alfredo recipe with prawns

Alfredo sauce is a creamy sauce, perfect to accompany pasta along with other ingredients. Made with Parmesan cheese and liquid cream, it has many variants.

In this case we have incorporated prawns, which will give it all that strong and tropical flavor.

• fettuccine 160 g
• 2 cups parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons oil
• cream 2 cups
• butter 3 tablespoons
• garlic clove 1
• Pepper
• Fresh chopped parsley

Preparation of the pasta

1. Bring water to boil in a large deep pot, wait until it is bubbling and add a tablespoon of oil, a pinch of salt.
2. Put the pasta. Let it cook until it is al dente (this process does not usually exceed ten minutes).
3. Once the pasta reaches the ideal point, remove it from the heat, remove the water and run it through a stream of cold water. Let it rest in a container.

Alfredo sauce preparation

1. In a pan, melt the butter, then add the finely chopped garlic and let it take a little color without causing it to roast.
2. Clean the prawns and remove the shell , add them to the butter and cook until they turn pink or salmon. Once they have taken that color, remove them from the heat and reserve them.
3. Put the pan back on the heat without cleaning it and add two cups of cream, cook over low heat until it starts to boil, stir from time to time.
4. When the cream has thickened, you can add the Parmesan cheese.

Additional tips

• Garlic prawns add a lot of flavor to recipes, so they can be combined with any type of pasta.
• Many people wonder how much water they should use to cook pasta, for this you must use one liter for every 100 grams of pasta.

• It is common for you to hear it said to add just a pinch of salt, but this measure is misleading. A slightly more exact measure so that the pasta is not too salty or simple is one tablespoon of salt for every two liters of water.
• You will know that your pasta is al dente when when you cut it in half, you see that a small white point forms in the center. This way it will better retain its shape. When you detect that your pasta is al dente, add a glass of cold water to the boiling water.
• Pass the pasta through the stream of cold water to prevent it from continuing to cook in the container where you will let it rest.
• It would be best if you buy the prawns ready to prepare, especially if you do not know how to clean them or remove the shell.
• Remember that Parmesan cheese gives the creamy texture to the sauce, so it is important to add it to the cream when it is thick, but not too thick.
• If you have the ability to buy fresh black pepper and grind it yourself, it would be wonderful for this recipe.
