Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add 8-oz fettuccine and cook according to the package directions for al dente. Before draining, reserve a little pasta cooking water (optional). Drain the pasta and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt ¼ cup unsalted butter.
  • Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté, stirring constantly, about 30 seconds until fragrant (do not let the garlic brown).
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp salt, and 4-oz cream cheese (cubed). Stir frequently until the cream cheese is softened and begins to combine with the butter.
  • Whisk in ½ cup heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  • Add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and stir until the cheddar is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
  • Stir in ¼ cup sour cream and 1/5 tsp smoked paprika until evenly incorporated. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta cooking water to reach your desired consistency.
  • Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet and toss gently to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce. Heat 1–2 minutes more until the pasta is warmed through.
