Ingredients

3/4 pound egg fettuccine
1/2 cup butter, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Salt and pepper

Directions

Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt. Cook the fettuccine in the boiling water according to the package directions, until tender yet al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving the pasta water, and place in a large, heated bowl.

Add the diced butter and grated cheese and toss with tongs or other utensil until the butter and cheese have melted, adding a splash or two of the pasta cooking water to keep the mixture from getting too "tight". Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve immediately.

Marvelous!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

If this recipe were any easier, it'd cook itself! Delicious as well. Use the cheese he calls for, cheap Parmesan ruins this... recipe.Read more

Light and delicious alfredo
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Alfredo sauce can be very heavy, but this one is not at all. It gives enough of the rich flavor without the heavy calories. I... added frozen green peas and mixed it in and also added protien (grilled chicken tenders with salt, pepper and thyme). It was really well balanced. I thought adding fresh ground pepper made a big difference also. Loved it!Read more

Enjoyed it greatly!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was my first time making homemade pasta...the cheese was wonderful, had an amazing aroma...and it was all delicious. I... used heavy whipping cream instead of the pasta water...and added shrimp marinated in minced garlic and olive oil and a splash of white cooking wine. It was delicious and there were no leftovers! This recipe is a keeper and will be making it again!Read more

Simple and Good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've made complicated alfredos before, but wanted something quick. I didn't expect it to be so creamy, but how can you go... wrong with butter and cheese? I did use about 1/2 cup cream instead of the cooking water and closer to 1 cup of cheese. Very good!Read more

My husband and I love this recipe, very easy to make. I put some grilled chicken. Next time I want to put basil or parsley.

Couldn't be easier...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was very hesitant that this recipe would be very good, given its very simplistic ingredients, but man was I wrong! This... sauce is easily the best I've ever had, and I've tried a LOT of Fettuccines at many good restaurants. The basic recipe is good, but admittedly I usually add just a bit of cream (about half a cup of half&half), and more cheese (just under 1 cup) - this is just to make the sauce a little more of a sauce than a coating. I would also recommend to sticking with Reggiano vs. regular Parmesan, as regular parm. doesn't have nearly as much flavor, so the sauce might taste a little flat. This recipe doesn't make much, but you don't need much, especially since the pasts shouldn't be sitting in an alfredo bath to begin with. It's extremely flavorful so a light coating does the pasta justice. Read more
