This easy fettuccine alfredo recipe is made with a 3-ingredient sauce featuring Alouette garlic and herb cheese for extra flavor and creaminess! And it comes together in just 15 minutes for a cozy pasta dinner you can enjoy any night of the week.

If we haven’t already made it clear, Alouette garlic & herbs spreadable cheese is one of our favorite treats. It’s soft and creamy and flavorful, and tastes great on just about anything. In fact, it’s so versatile that we decided to make a pasta sauce with it!

Originally, we were thinking of combining an Alouette-inspired pasta sauce with another one of our favorite treats, potato gnocchi. But as soon as we realized we were basically making an alfredo sauce with Alouette instead of parmesan cheese, the pairing was obvious: fettuccine alouette-o.

Ingredients

• Fettuccine – A classic pasta pairing for alfredo sauce. You can also use spaghetti or linguine though if you prefer.
• Butter and heavy cream – These two ingredients make up the base of a traditional alfredo sauce.
• Alouette garlic & herbs spreadable cheese – Instead of parmesan, you’ll use this creamy cheese spread to make a super flavorful alfredo sauce.
• Garnish – Totally optional, but we like to garnish this recipe with a little roasted garlic and parsley to make the pasta look like a tub of Alouette cheese!

How To Make Fettuccine Alfredo With Alouette

1. Boil the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente in a large pot of salted water. Reserve some pasta water before draining.
2. Make the sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and then stir in the heavy cream. Once it’s lightly steaming, whisk in the Alouette cheese until the sauce is fully combined. Adjust salt to taste.
3. Combine and serve. Combine the pasta with the alfredo sauce, adding a splash or two of pasta water to help the sauce cling. Optionally garnish with roasted garlic and fresh parsley.

Serving Suggestions

This is definitely a heavy dish – we took alfredo sauce and made it even more decadent with Alouette cheese. So we recommend serving it with a lighter side, like:

• Greens dressed with olive oil and balsamic
• A simple salad of lettuce, tomato, and cucumber
• Roasted tomato and garlic bruschetta with balsamic
• Fresh tomato and basil drizzled with olive oil and sea salt

But if you want to lean into the ultra-comforting nature of fettuccine alfredo, this pasta is also great served with:

• Fresh Italian bread (use it to sop up the sauce!)
• Garlic parmesan eggplant fries
• Garlic bread
• Baked bruschetta dip

This dish is really so perfect for cozy nights in. We love indulging in it during the winter when we’re craving something warm, cheesy, and comforting.
