Some nights I crave vegetables and tofu for dinner, and other nights, there's nothing that I want more than a big cheesy bowl of pasta. Mom and home cook Lauren Bower, aka CookLikeAMother on TikTok, understands this craving for carbs so much that she shared a 15-minute fettuccine alfredo recipe that has me wondering why I ever paid for pasta at a restaurant.

The recipe calls for generous amounts of Kerrygold butter, garlic, parmesan, and heavy whipping cream. With so few ingredients and such a short cooking time, this might just make it into my weekly dinner rotation, and my tastebuds are already thanking me. Sneak a peek at the creamy fettucine alfredo recipe for yourself ahead, and maybe whip up a batch of Italian-style breadsticks to pair with this deliciously indulgent dinner while you're at it.
