Gather all your ingredients before starting. A clean workspace makes cooking a joy. Chop the garlic and parsley. Measure the pasta and cheese. Trust me, this prep work will save you time!

In a large pot over medium heat, melt three tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add in the minced garlic. Allow it to sizzle for about a minute. This will fill your kitchen with a heavenly aroma.

Add the fettuccine pasta straight into the pot. Pour in the homemade chicken broth and the whole milk. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients. Sprinkle with salt, cracked black pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Bring this mix to a gentle boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking. You’ll want the pasta to soak in all that flavor as it cooks, about 10-12 minutes until it's al dente.

Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese. The cheese will melt and blend into the creamy sauce, creating a luscious coating on the fettuccine. Finally, sprinkle on that finely chopped parsley for a fresh finish.

Dish up your glorious fettuccine Alfredo. Top it off with additional Parmesan cheese if you like. Pair with garlic bread or your favorite side, and watch the smiles unfold.
