Erica's Favorite - Fettuccine Alfredo

To kick off our Spring of sharing favorite recipes, we start with a classic: Fettuccine Alfredo.  

We have chosen a simple recipe with only six (6) ingredients.

Ingredients:

4 oz. of fettuccine noodles

1+ tsp salt 

2 Tbs unsalted butter

2 Tbs heavy cream

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)

1 tsp chopped parsley

Directions:

1.  Bring a large pot of water to boil.  Toss in the salt.  Add noodles and cook according to package directions.

2.  While the pasta is boiling, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat, but be careful not to burn it.  This should take only a minute or two.  

3.  Add the cream and increase the heat to medium.  Whisk/stir the butter and cream until it is well-combined.

4.  Add the grated cheese  and whisk/stir it in completely until it is melted.  Continue to cook and stir the sauce until it thickens.

5.  Reduce the heat under the skillet.  Using tongs, transfer the cooked noodles from the pot into the Alfredo sauce in the skillet.  Stir together until all the pasta is completely coated with the sauce.

6.  Serve the pasta onto plates, garnish with the chopped parsley and eat while it's hot and fresh.

Enjoy!
