Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Fettuccine pasta
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups Heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Large skillet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package directions until al dente.
  2. While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a large skillet or pot over medium heat.
  3. Add the heavy cream to the melted butter and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Combine and Serve
  1. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  2. Drain the cooked fettuccine and add it directly to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
  3. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

For an extra rich sauce, use full-fat heavy cream. You can also add grilled chicken or shrimp for a more substantial meal.
