Tips & Tricks
- For a spicier kick, you can use hot Hungarian paprika instead of sweet paprika.
- If you prefer a creamier sauce, you can add an extra dollop of sour cream.
- Feel free to add cooked chicken or sautéed mushrooms to the dish for added protein and flavor.
- Serve the Parmesan Butter Fettuccine with a side of fresh salad to balance the richness of the dish.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated the next day, but the pasta may absorb some of the sauce, so you may need to add a splash of milk or cream when reheating.
Serving advice
Serve the Parmesan Butter Fettuccine as a main course, accompanied by a fresh green salad and crusty bread.
