Traditional Alfredo Pasta



If you have never made an alfredo similar to this, you need to! The recipe originally came from An Italian in My Kitchen, but I saw The American Moms post about it. It is a major winner! 

Ingredients:
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan Cheese (divided)
1/2 cup butter (divided)
2 cups fettucine
2-3 dashes black pepper to taste

Instructions:
1. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the fettucine al dente
2. In a medium pan, add 1/2 the butter, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and 1/2-1 ladle of hot pasta water (about 3-5 Tablespoons). On a low medium heat, whisk together to make a cream. 
3. Add the drained pasta, another 1/2-1 ladle of pasta water (or a little more if needed), the remaining butter and parmesan cheese, gently toss together on low heat for about 1 minute. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and black pepper and serve immediately.
