Ingredients

• 400 grams Fresh fettuccine pasta
• 150 grams Unsalted butter
• 200 grams Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, finely grated
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 liters Water for boiling pasta

Directions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with 3 liters of water, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and bring it to a rapid boil over high heat.

Step 2

Once the water is boiling, add the fresh fettuccine pasta and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until al dente. Fresh pasta cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it.

Step 3

While the pasta is cooking, cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and place it in a large, warm serving bowl. You can warm the bowl by rinsing it with hot water and then drying it thoroughly.

Step 4

Drain the cooked pasta, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.

Step 5

Immediately transfer the hot pasta into the serving bowl with the butter. Toss the pasta gently to melt the butter and coat the noodles thoroughly.

Step 6

Gradually add the finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, tossing the pasta continuously to create a creamy sauce. If the mixture seems too thick, add small amounts of the reserved pasta water, 1-2 tablespoons at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 7

Serve the Fettuccine Alfredo immediately, garnished with extra grated Parmigiano-Reggiano if desired. Serve with a simple green salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
