Description

This elegant yet simple pasta dish relies on the luxurious combination of high-quality butter and whipping cream to create a velvety sauce that clings perfectly to fresh fettuccine. The richness is balanced by a sharp, salty kick from freshly grated Parmesan cheese, while a hint of white pepper adds a subtle warmth without darkening the sauce. It is an ideal weeknight dinner that feels indulgent and sophisticated. Serve it immediately while hot to ensure the sauce coats every strand of pasta. Pair with a crisp green salad and a light white wine for a complete, satisfying experience.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare fresh egg pasta noodles using 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour, following standard pasta dough methods.
  2. Fill a very large saucepan two-thirds full with water and add generous salt.
  3. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
  4. Add the fresh fettuccine noodles to the boiling water.
  5. Cook uncovered until the noodles are tender but still firm to the bite, usually 2-3 minutes for fresh pasta.
  6. Meanwhile, melt 1/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  7. When the butter foams, pour in 1 cup whipping cream.
  8. Simmer the cream mixture for about 2 minutes until it slightly thickens.
  9. Season the sauce with salt and white pepper to taste.
  10. Drain the cooked noodles well.
  11. Transfer the drained noodles directly into the skillet with the cream sauce.
  12. Add 1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet.
  13. Toss the noodles and sauce over medium heat for 20 to 30 seconds until the sauce evenly coats the pasta.
  14. Serve immediately, garnishing with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
