Fettuccine Alfredo

For your Shopping Cart:

Orignating in Rome, but made popular in the U.S., Alfredo sauce is a rich and decadent combination of fresh cream and Parmigiano Reggiano.

Ingredients:

Directions:

Cook Fettuccine in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente.  Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, bring the heavy cream and butter to a simmer.  Add salt and white pepper to taste (about ¼ teaspoon each)

Drain the pasta and reserve about 1 cup or more of the cooking water.  Toss the hot pasta into the sauce, add ¼ cup of the reserved water, grated cheese, and nutmeg and toss to coat evenly.  If the consistency is too thick continue to add the reserved water until smooth and creamy.
