Step 1: Cook the Fettuccine - Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta using a colander and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Alfredo Sauce - In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the stick of butter. Once melted, add the cream cheese cubes. Stir constantly until the cream cheese is fully melted and combined with the butter, creating a smooth mixture.
Step 3: Add the Cream - Slowly pour in the heavy cream while continuing to stir. This will help to create a rich and creamy texture. Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes, letting it thicken slightly.
Step 4: Season the Sauce - Add the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, cracked black pepper, and dried oregano to the skillet. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Step 5: Combine Pasta and Sauce - Add the drained fettuccine noodles to the skillet, tossing them in the creamy sauce until fully coated. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of pasta water to achieve your desired consistency.
Step 6: Serve and Garnish - Plate the fettuccine alfredo in generous portions, garnishing with fresh oregano for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy goodness!
