Ingredients
- 1 pound fettuccine pasta cooked
- 4 ounce unsalted butter
- 4 ounce freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup hot pasta water
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
Cook the Fettuccine:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Reserve about 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
Melt the Butter:
- In a large skillet or pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add Pasta and Cheese:
- Once the butter is melted, add the cooked fettuccine to the pan.
- Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, tossing the pasta continuously to coat it evenly with butter and cheese.
Create the Sauce:
- Slowly add some of the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, tossing the pasta until a smooth, creamy sauce forms. The starchy pasta water helps to emulsify the butter and cheese, creating a creamy texture.
- Continue to add pasta water as needed until you reach your desired sauce consistency.
Season And Serve
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve the fettuccine Alfredo immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.
