Fettuccine Alfredo is a pasta dish that originated in Rome, Italy. It was named after Alfredo Di Lelio, a restaurateur who invented the dish with fettuccine pasta, butter, and parmesan cheese in the early 20th century. Since then, the dish has become a beloved classic on restaurant menus around the world and in home kitchens alike. Fettuccine Alfredo can be served as a main course or a side dish and is often accompanied by bread and salad.

Instructions

1.	Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2.	In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add in the chopped garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3.	Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
4.	In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk and then stir in a ladleful of the hot cream mixture. Gradually pour the egg mixture back into the skillet while stirring constantly to avoid clumps.
5.	Add 1 cup of parmesan cheese to the skillet and stir until melted and well-combined.
6.	Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the pasta cooking water.
7.	Serve the fettuccine Alfredo hot, topped with the remaining cup of parmesan cheese and dried parsley.
