Pasta Journey: Fettuccine Alfredo

 



This was the first pasta dish that Brit and learned to make from scratch over ten years ago. We've since made it many times. It's our oldest child's favorite food. He even requested it at Thanksgiving one year. 


1 pound fettuccine

1 stick butter

1 cup heavy cream

2 cups freshly grated Parmesan

salt and pepper


You just warm the butter and cream in a pan and pour it over half the Parmesan in a bowl. Add the pasta and a little pasta water. Then add the rest of the cheese, salt and pepper to taste. I like to reserve just a but of grated cheese to put on at the table. 

It feels like a special occasion, despite it being super simple to make.
