Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time25 minutes
Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 10 ounces dry fettuccine
  • salt for pasta water
  • 4 ounces butter
  • 4 ounces half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until almost tender but still slightly firm to the bite.
  • Drain the pasta in a colander, reserving a small cup of pasta cooking water if desired.
  • Return the drained pasta to the pot (or a large saucepan). Add the butter and the half-and-half and bring the mixture to a hard boil briefly, stirring to combine.
  • When the noodles are fully cooked and the sauce is boiling, remove the pot from the heat.
  • Stir in the grated Parmesan and cracked black pepper until the cheese melts and coats the fettuccine. Toss to combine and serve immediately.

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Colander
  • Large saucepan or the pasta pot
  • Tongs or pasta fork

Notes

  • Salt the pasta water generously for best flavor.
  • Reserve some pasta water to loosen the sauce if it becomes too thick.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best texture and flavor.
