Ingredients
- 16 ounces fettuccine (or tagliatelle)
- salt (to taste)
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups freshly grated parmigiano reggiano (or to taste)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. If you aren't sure how much salt to use, start with 1 tablespoon.Add fettuccine and boil for 11-12 minutes or the amount of time specified on the package. You want the noodles to be al dente. Stir often. Do not overcook!
- While noodles are boiling remove a mug full of pasta water and set aside.
- About 5 minutes before the pasta is finished, add butter to a large skillet or ceramic Dutch oven. Heat over low heat and allow butter to melt.
- When pasta is finished cooking, drain and add to the skillet.
- Slowly add shredded Parmigiano Reggiano by sprinkling over the pasta and tossing with tongs. Alternate with a little pasta water until a cream sauce is formed with the noodles. You may not need all of the reserved pasta water.
- Continue until the pasta is coated with sauce and you have reached your desired consistency. Taste as you go until you get it just right.
- Serve immediately with extra Parmigiano Reggiano if desired.
Notes
- Add the cheese slowly while stirring. If you add too much at once it will clump and not melt right.
