Ingredients
- 12 oz Fettuccine pasta
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 2 cups heavy cream
- juice of 1-2 lemons, add it to taste.
- 1 1/2 cups finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley reserve some for garnish
- salt and fresh cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in plenty of well salted water, according to the package instructions until just al dente.
- Meanwhile melt the butter in a pan over low heat and add the cream. Stir to combine and let it just come to a simmer. Add the lemon juice and stir.
- Add the cheese and stir until it is completely melted. I like to take the pan off the heat to do this. Taste the sauce and add salt, if needed, and plenty of fresh cracked black pepper.
- When the pasta is done, drain it and add it to the sauce, along with the parsley. Toss everything well, and serve up immediately, with more parsley for garnish.
