Fettuccine Alfredo
 
 
Roman restaurateur Alfredo di Lello created this luscious, creamy dish in the early 1900s, and its popularity has never waned. Be sure to use only freshly grated Parmesan cheese (preferably Italian Parmigiano-Reggiano) when making this indulgent pasta. - I also add vegetables like asparagus or broccoli and grilled chicken or sgrimp.
 
16 oz    fettuccine (1 package)  
1 1/2 cups    heavy or whipping cream  
1 Tbs    butter  
1/2 tsp    salt  
1/4 tsp    coarsely ground black pepper  
3/4 cup    freshly grated Parmesan cheese  
    chopped fresh parsley  
 
1 In a large saucepot, cook pasta as label directs. Drain
2 Meanwhile, in a 2-quart saucepan, heat cream, butter, salt, and pepper to boiling over medium-high heat. Boil until sauce has thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. In a warm serving bowl, toss pasta with sauce and Parmesan. Sprinkle with parsley.
