Ingredients:
| Ingredients | Quantities |
|---|---|
| Fettuccine | 1 package (approx. 16 oz) |
| Boiling Water | As needed |
| Salt | To taste |
| Heavy Cream | 1 cup |
| Butter | 1/2 cup |
| Fresh Ground Black Pepper | To taste |

Instructions:
-
Cook Noodles: Begin by cooking the fettuccine noodles in salted water according to the package directions, usually around 10-15 minutes, until they are al dente.
-
Drain and Prepare: Once the noodles are cooked, drain them well and place them in a suitable container, such as a chafing dish or a skillet, ensuring there’s enough room to toss them without any accidents.
-
Heat the Noodles: Place the container over low heat or a sterno burner to keep the noodles warm.
-
Add Butter: Add the butter to the noodles in several chunks, stirring gently until it melts and coats the noodles evenly.
-
Pour Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and stir in a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to your taste preferences. If you have a peppermill, it’s ideal to use it at this stage for freshly ground pepper.
-
Incorporate Cheese: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the mixture, reserving a small amount for garnishing individual portions. You can either grate the cheese directly into the dish or have it prepared beforehand.
-
Thicken and Stir: Stir the mixture continuously as it thickens and coats the noodles, ensuring a creamy consistency.
-
Serve: Once the Alfredo sauce has thickened and perfectly clings to the noodles, serve the dish immediately while it’s hot.
-
Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle the remaining grated Parmesan cheese over each portion as a final touch of flavor and presentation.
-
Enjoy: Indulge in the luxurious flavors of this Classic Fettuccine Alfredo, savoring each creamy, velvety bite.
