Step 1

In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook 1 pound of fettuccine pasta until al dente. Drain in colander, reserving 1 up of the pasta cooking water.

Using the same pot, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add 1 1/2 cups heavy cream and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water and bring to a simmer.

Add the fettuccine and 1 1/4 cups grated parmesan cheese (about 5 ounces) and toss.

Season with salt and pepper and add more pasta to water to make a looser sauce if desired.

Top with chopped flat-leaf parsley
