Step-by-step tutorial:
Gather your ingredients. You will need butter, cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper, and gluten-free fettuccine pasta. Our favorite is the Barilla brand. Cook the pasta according to package directions; drain. In a large skillet, melt 1/2 cup butter.
Add the 8 oz. cream cheese that has been cubed. Stir until the cream cheese is softened. It won't be totally melted or incorporated yet.
Pour in the 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Add pepper to taste. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium low heat until completely smooth. You may need to pull out a whisk to achieve completely smooth sauce. At this point, turn burner to low, cover with a lid, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the 2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until fully melted and mixed in.
Serve immediately over fettuccine noodles. It's super rich and delicious! You will feel like you're at your favorite Italian restaurant.....and it was just that easy!
Enjoy!
