Description

It takes only a few ingredients to make this pasta with a rich, creamy, cheesy sauce. It is so simple to make and can be served as a side or as a vegetarian main dish.

Ingredients

• 2 c. (1 pint) whipping cream
• ½ c. butter
• 1½ c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese (it's best to grate yourself and not use pre-grated from the store)
• dash of nutmeg
• white or black pepper, to taste
• 1 lb. fettuccine, cooked to al dente

Steps

1. Cook fettuccine in well salted, boiling water to al dente, according to package directions, about 10-13 minutes.
2. In a heavy bottomed saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add cream; bring to a boil; immediately lower heat to a simmer, stirring constantly. Cook 7 minutes, until sauce begins to thicken. Remove saucepan from the heat; add grated Parmesan cheese, nutmeg and pepper, to taste. Stir until the cheese is completely melted.
3. Immediately serve tossed with the cooked fettuccine and a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
