Creamy Fettuccine Alfredo: A Rich and Flavorful Pasta Dish
Easy Creamy Pasta Recipe: Perfect for Beginners
I once retired from making cream pasta after a failed attempt with fresh cream. However, I rediscovered my passion for this classic dish after stumbling upon ‘CJ Garlic Cream Pasta Sauce.’ This recipe enhances the flavor by incorporating a few extra ingredients and pairs wonderfully with a glass of wine, making it a delightful culinary experience. Enjoy a restaurant-quality cream pasta right in your own home!
Pasta Ingredients- 6 cloves garlic (minced or thinly sliced)
- 1/2 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 1 large king oyster mushroom (sliced into bite-sized pieces)
- 80g bacon (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 350g linguine pasta
Sauce Ingredients- 1 bottle CJ Garlic Cream Pasta Sauce
- 1 bottle CJ Garlic Cream Pasta Sauce
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Before you start boiling the pasta, prepare all your ingredients. Mince or thinly slice the garlic cloves. Finely chop the onion – the smaller the dice, the smoother your sauce will be. Slice the king oyster mushroom into manageable, bite-sized pieces. Cut the bacon into similar bite-sized strips. Having all your ingredients prepped and ready makes the cooking process much smoother and more enjoyable.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil for the pasta. Cook the linguine according to the package directions, but aim for al dente, about 1 minute less than the recommended cooking time. While the pasta cooks, heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil or cooking oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden. Then, add the bacon and cook until it becomes slightly crispy. Finally, add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Stir-fry until the onions turn translucent and the mushrooms soften, releasing their flavors.
Step 3
Once the vegetables and bacon are nicely sautéed, pour the entire bottle of ‘CJ Garlic Cream Pasta Sauce’ into the skillet. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for about 1 minute to meld the flavors. Then, drain the cooked linguine (reserving a little pasta water) and add it directly to the skillet with the sauce. Increase the heat to medium-high and toss everything together for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the pasta is well coated with the creamy sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, you can add a splash of the reserved pasta water to achieve your desired consistency. Cook until the pasta is perfectly coated and heated through.
Step 4
Serve the creamy linguine immediately. For an extra touch, you can garnish with grated Parmesan cheese or a sprinkle of chopped parsley. This dish is especially delightful when paired with a good glass of wine (such as Peter Lehmann Barossa Shiraz, costing approximately ₩19,800). The rich creaminess of the pasta and the complex notes of the wine create a truly satisfying and elegant dining experience. Enjoy your delicious homemade pasta!
