Fettuccine Alfredo

• servings: 4

Ingredients

12 ounces fettuccine

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

2 cups (1 pint) heavy cream

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Cook fettuccine according to package directions; drain.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add heavy cream and pepper; cook 6 to 8 minutes, or until hot and well blended, stirring constantly.

Stir in cheese and cook 6 to 7 minutes, or until sauce is thickened. Pour sauce over fettuccine; toss and serve.

Notes

You might want to switch this up by using spinach fettuccine to give the dish nice color contrast. Go ahead and top it with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
