Ingredients

¼ cup hot water
¼ teaspoon saffron threads
4 ounces fettuccine
2 teaspoons butter
2 ½ tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon grated Parmesan cheese
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon paprika
3 ounces paneer cubes
1 ½ ounces pitted green olives, sliced
½ ounce raisins

Steps:

Combine hot water and saffron in a small bowl; let sit until water turns yellow.
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in the fettuccine, bring back to a boil, and cook pasta over medium heat until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat; add cream and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and mix Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and paprika into cream mixture; simmer for 1 minute.
Mix saffron water, paneer, olives, and raisins into cream sauce and simmer until sauce is thickened, about 1 minute. Add fettuccine to sauce and toss to coat; simmer for 5 minutes.
