Instructions

Step 1: Boil the Noodles

  1. Boil the 1 lb fettuccine noodles in a large pot of salted water for 10 minutes until al dente, then drain well.

Step 2: Combine and Thicken

  1. Melt the ½ stick butter in the pot; add the drained 1 lb fettuccine noodles, ½ cup heavy cream, and 1 cup grated parmesan cheese.
  2. Cook over low heat, stirring gently, until the sauce coats the noodles and thickens into a rich, velvety consistency.

Step 3: Serve

  1. Serve immediately while hot, topped with additional grated parmesan cheese.

💡 Make-Ahead & Storage: Best served fresh, as the pasta will absorb the cream sauce as it sits.
