Fettuccine all' Alfredo
Ingredients
1 lb fettuccine noodles or tagliatelle
1/2 cup soft butter
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly ground black pepper
Method
Bring a large pot (at least 6-8 quarts) of water to a boil.
Add two tablespoons of salt. Cook the noodles for about 8-
10 minutes until just tender when tested with a fork. Drain
the noodles well and put them immediately in a chafing dish
or electric frying pan. Take the pan to the table.
At the table, light the heater for the chafing dish and turn
it down low or put the frypan on its lowest setting. Toss
the butter in chunks in the noodles and stir until the
butter is melted. Add the cream and grind a generous amount
of black pepper over the noodles. Continue cooking and
tossing gently until the cream thickens and sticks to the
noodles. Add the cheese and stir to mix. Serve
immediately.
