Classic Fettuccine Alfredo

Ingredients and Method

Ingredients

400g fettuccine pasta
1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, finely grated
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste

Method

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente.
Reserve about 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
Add the butter into a large bowl, top with drained pasta, parmesan cheese and salt.
Use a tongue or two forks and toss the pasta vigorously. Slowly add the reserved pasta cooking water, a little at a time, while continuing to toss.
Toss until the sauce becomes creamy and clings to the noodles.
Serve the pasta immediately with some freshly ground black pepper on top and enjoy!
