Fettucine Alfredo

This is my trusty alfredo sauce recipe, from my Fannie Farmer cookbook my sister Kris gave me when I got married. This is the best basics cookbook ever, everyone should have a copy of it.

Ingredients:

1/2 pound noodles (this is where Thom and I disagree, he loves fettuccine and I love cappellini)
1/4 pound unsalted butter, melted
1 cup heavy cream, warmed
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
salt to taste
1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper

Have a large bowl warmed and ready before you cook the noodles. Drain the cooked noodles and put them in the bowl. Quickly add the remaining ingredients, tossing briskly to coat all the noodles, and serve at once. I usually put all the sauce ingredients in a saucepan, and double it for that matter!! Then each person can use as much or as little sauce as they want.
