Number Of Ingredients 7

PASTA
1 lb very thin fettuccine noodles
SAUCE
6 oz butter, unsalted
6 oz parmigiano-reggiano, (aged 24 months) grated
OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS
garlic, ground black pepper and sweet basil (to taste)

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the fettuccine noodles in 1 gallon of salted boiling water for three minutes. At the same time, mix the butter at room temperature in a bowl with the grated cheese until the cheese almost dissolves, forming a smooth cream. If using a mixer, this should not take more than three minutes at which time the noodles will be ready. Strain the pasta leaving just a small amount of water and toss the noodles with the Alfredo sauce. Plate the preparation. Cheese lovers may want to sprinkle additional grated cheese on top
  • 2. *** When using packaged noodles, go by the directions on the packaging.
