Ingredients

  • 1 pound fettuccine pasta
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, optional

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine until just al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain.
  2. In the same pot, melt the butter over low heat. Add the hot pasta back to the pot.
  3. Gradually sprinkle in the cheese while tossing the pasta continuously to create a creamy sauce.
  4. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  5. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano for the best flavor and creamy texture. Don’t use pre-shredded cheese, as it won’t melt as smoothly.
