Servings: 4

Ingredients

Fettuccine pasta
12 ounces
Unsalted butter
4 tablespoons
Garlic
3 cloves, minced
Apricots
4, pitted and diced
Heavy cream
1 cup
Parmesan cheese
1 cup, grated
Breadcrumbs
1 cup
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste
Fresh parsley
1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside in a large serving bowl.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant and golden.
  3. Add the diced apricots to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until they soften slightly and release their juices.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
  6. In a separate small skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toast them, stirring frequently, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. To serve, divide the cooked fettuccine among plates. Generously spoon the apricot Alfredo sauce over the pasta and sprinkle with the crispy toasted breadcrumbs.
  8. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful blend of creamy, sweet, and savory!
