Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Fettuccine noodles
  • ½ cup Butter
  • 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
  • ¾ cup Freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • chopped parsley for garnish
  • grated parmesan for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Cook fettuccine to al dente according to package directions. Drain, place on serving platter and keep warm until sauce is ready.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Slowly stir heavy cream into melted butter.
  • Add the grated parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese melts and pasta sauce thickens. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour sauce over noodles and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

Recipe Notes
    1. Add a little olive oil and a pinch of salt to the cooking water to keep the noodles from sticking and to add a bit of flavor.
    2. Make sure to use real butter and heavy cream for an authentic, creamy sauce.
    3. Grate the cheese yourself rather than using it from a package. Packaged cheese has a waxy coating on it to keep it from sticking. Nothing beats the flavor and texture of freshly grated cheese!
    4. If you want a thicker sauce, stir in more cheese until it reaches desired consistency.
    5. Serve with a caesar's salad and garlic bread for a complete meal.
