Ingredients
- 1 pound Fettuccine pasta
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup finely grated Pecorino Romano cheese

- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente according to package directions. Drain, reserve 1 cup of pasta water, and set aside.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Slowly add the milk, then season it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir to warm the milk for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the reserved cooked pasta on top of the butter and milk mixture. Add the reserved pasta water and stir until the sauce clings to the pasta.
- Turn off the heat, add the grated cheeses and stir until the sauce has thickened and well combined with the pasta, about 5 more minutes. Serve immediately.
