Ingredients

• 12 ounces Fettuccine pasta
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoons Nutmeg, freshly grated (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Once melted, pour in the heavy cream and stir gently to combine.

Step 3

Cook the butter and cream mixture over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid scorching.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese has completely melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 5

Season the Alfredo sauce with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and freshly grated nutmeg (if using). Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 6

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss gently to coat the pasta in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 7

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
