Fettuccine Alfredo

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 200 grams fettuccine
  • 4 cups of water
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 heaping cups of shredded Parmesan
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • black pepper to taste
  • Basil or Italian parsley to taste

Directions

1. Cook the Pasta

Bring the water to a boil in a stainless saucepan, then add the salt. When the water reaches a roiling boil add the pasta and cook for 12 minutes. Drain the pasta and immediately add to the pan used in step 2.

2. Make the sauce

Warm up a stainless steel saute pan on low and then add the cream and bring to a low simmer while constantly stirring. Try to start the cream with around 4 minutes left for the pasta to cook. Add the cheese in four portions, stirring after each addition. Season with pepper and herbs to taste, continue to stir.

3. Finish the Pasta

After adding the pasta to the pan continue to stir while the sauce reduces. Once the sauce reaches an acceptable thickness remove from heat and immediately plate.
