By Scheets

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• pinch salt
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 12-ounce box fettuccine pasta
• (or your choice of pasta)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium/low heat.

2. Add the garlic, cream, pepper and salt, and bring mixture to a simmer. Turn the heat down if the mixture reaches a rapid boil or it could boil over. You just want a simmer. Add the cheese, and continue to simmer sauce for 8 minutes or until thick.

3. While sauce cooks, bring 4 to 6 quarts of water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook pasta for about 12 minutes or until done, then drain it.

4. Spoon pasta onto serving plates with Alfredo sauce poured over the top.
