Fetticini Alfredo

By suefeuer

Ingredients

• 1 (pound) box fettuccine
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 pound butter
• 1 cup grated parmesan
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Cook fettuccine according to package instructions.


While pasta is cooking, heat the cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Do not let the cream come to a boil. Whisk in butter until melted. Add the parmesan, whisking continually, until sauce thickens. Keep warm over low heat, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to burn the sauce.


Drain pasta; do not rinse. Place in a bowl large enough to allow tossing. Pour sauce over warm pasta and toss to coat.


Sprinkle with pepper. Top with additional parmesan if desired. Serve immediately.
