Easy Fettucine Alfredo Ingredients

• 1/2 lb of dried Fettucine pasta
• 4.7 oz of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (finely grated)
• 3.3 oz of unsalted butter
• pasta water
• 2 teaspoons of sea salt

How to Make Fettucine Alfredo

Step 1:

Fill a pot with water and let it come to a boil. Add 2 teaspoons of sea salt and add the pasta. Cook al dente according to package instructions.

Place a pan over heat and the unsalted butter. Once melted, remove the pasta from the boiling water and transfer it to the melted butter using tongs. Mix and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 3:

Add more pasta water, then add the grated cheese in four batches. You don’t want it to dry too much, so keep adding a little bit of pasta water as necessary. Keep adding the grated cheese and mix after every addition. It should be creamy.

Step 4:

Transfer to a plate and sprinkle more grated cheese on top. Serve and enjoy!
