Ingredients
- 16 ounces fettuccine noodles
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cook noodles according to package instructions. (*reserve 1/2 c. water after boiling)
- Combine butter, heavy cream, salt and pepper in a large skillet. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until butter is melted. Stir in 1 1/2 c. grated Parmesan. Cook until cheese is completely melted; remove from heat.
- Stir cooked noodles into sauce. Add additional 1/2 c. cheese. If sauce is too thick, slowly stir in reserved pasta water until it reaches desired consistency.
- Garnish with fresh parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
If you like your pasta extra saucy, go ahead and make more sauce! Here are the measurements I'd suggest:
1 1/2 sticks butter
1 1/2 cup heavy cream
3 cups grated Parmesan
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
