Chef Dolce Debbie'S Fettuccine Alfredo
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 pound fresh fettuccine
- 1 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese, firmly packed
- Salt
- Black Pepper
- Whole Nutmeg
- Begin boiling water in a pot large enough to support your pasta, generally a 3-4 quart pot. Once the water begins boiling, add 1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons of salt to the water, BEFORE adding the pasta. Taste the water for salt, you should be able to taste the salt without it being overpowering.
- While waiting for the water to come to a boil, place the butter and 1/2 cup of the whipped cream in a pan (large enough to hold the pasta later). Cook on medium heat just until the butter has melted and blends with the cream when stirred. Remove from the burner.
- Boil the fettuccine just until it is almost "al dente". For fresh fettuccine this should take about one minute. For dry fettuccine, this is usually a few minutes less than the time listed on the box. Drain.
- Add the pasta to the butter and cream mixture and stir to ensure that the fettuccine is well coated.
- Turn the heat on low, and stir in the cheese, the remaining cream, salt to taste, a bit of freshly ground pepper, and a hint of fresh grated nutmeg.
- Serve immediately in warm bowls, and add additional grated parmesan on top just before serving.
