By pjones-2

Ingredients

• 3/4 pound fettuccine
• 2/3 cup heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

Step 1

Cook the pasta according to package directions; drain.
Meanwhile, bring the cream, butter, pepper and salt to a boil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in 1/4 cup of the cheese until melted and smooth. Add the pasta and parsley, tossing until the pasta is well coated. Serve at once sprinkled with the remaining cheese.
