- 500 grams/16 oz fettuccine
- ½ cup/125ml reserved pasta water

Instructions
- Alfredo sauce: place a large sauté pan on the stove top, turn the heat to high and add the butter. Let this melt then add the garlic and salt and cook for around 1 minute. Next turn the heat down to low, pour in the cream, use a wooden spoon to stir then add the cheese and continue to stir until melted and combined.
- Cook pasta: cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions. When it is al dente (a little bit chewy) reserve some of the pasta water then use a colander over the sink to drain the pasta and discard the rest of the water.
- Combine: add the drained pasta to the alfredo sauce, pour over the reserved pasta water and use a pair of kitchen tongs to toss. Next add the drained tuna, followed by the chopped parsley and continue to toss until consistently combined.
- To serve: portion the tuna alfredo onto plates. Season with black pepper and give them a sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
