Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups Parmesan Cheese (use the real stuff if you can)
  • Salt & ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed deep skillet over medium heat. Once butter is completely melted, reduce heat to medium-low.
  2. Immediately pour in the cream. Pan may sizzle, but as you stir it will subside.
  3. Whisk in the freshly grated cheese and continue stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth. Taste and add salt and lots of pepper, as desired.
  4. Use sauce immediately by tossing it with hot pasta and serving right away. If it sits, the sauce tends to thicken up, so add in a splash of pasta water to keep things loose.
