Description

Fettuccini Alfredo

Everyone knows that classic Italian favorite Fettuccini Alfredo! But most of what we get in this country is a rich, somewhat bland mass-consumption version of a very fine (if labor-intensive) recipe from Rome. The original version is well known and we'll worth making!

Ingredients

16ozFresh Fettuccini
1cFresh grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
8TUnsalted Butter

Instructions

Have the butter and cheese at room temperature. Cook the pasta until just done, then toss it in a big bowl with the cheese and butter, added by bits. A quarter cup of hot pasta water helps to make it all come together. The end result is a thick cheesy sauce with no heavy cream.

Notes

Quality of ingredients is paramount here!
