Step 1

Cook the pasta according to package directions, omitting the salt. Drain well, reserving approx ½ cup of the cooking liquid and return pasta only to the cooking pot.

In a food processor or blender, combine ricotta cheese, yogurt, Romano cheese, and butter. If mixture is too thick, add a little of the cooking liquid or some fat-free half & half, if desired. Add the cheese mixture to the cooked fettuccini and toss to coat. Add fresh ground black pepper and sprinkle with parsley and a little additional grated cheese. Serve immediately.
