Ingredients

Scale

12-ounce package of gluten-free fettuccine alfredo, cooked al dente
4 tablespoons salted butter
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 ¼ cups heavy cream, divided
2 teaspoons gluten-free flour
1 ½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
¼ – ½ teaspoon salt (to taste)
Ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Cook the gluten-free fettuccine alfredo according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over low to medium heat. Add minced garlic mid-way through melting.
Sauté garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds to 1 minute).
Pour in 2 cups of heavy cream and simmer on medium-low heat until slightly reduced (avoid boiling).
In a small bowl, whisk together remaining ¼ cup of heavy cream and gluten-free flour until smooth.
Whisk the cream-flour slurry into the simmering sauce. Cook 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened.
Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Notes

This sauce is best served consistently with cooked gluten-free pasta. For vegan/dairy-free option, substitute butter with vegan butter and Parmesan with nutritional yeast or cashew cheese
Saute garlic slowly to avoid burning; reduce heat if needed
Stir continuously during thickening process to prevent creating lumps
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days
