Fettuccine Alfredo

This is a basic Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe from StartCooking.com. I think it would be really good with some steamed broccoli and grilled chicken tossed in too.

Fettuccine Alfredo

1 pound of dried pasta
8 tablespoons of butter - unsalted
1 cup of heavy cream
1 cup of parmesan cheese - freshly grated
1 dash of salt and pepper (adjust to taste)
Optional - steamed broccoli, grilled chicken

Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package.

While the pasta is draining, melt the butter in the same pot you cooked the pasta in. Return the pasta to the pot and add the cream and the parmesan cheese.

Toss over low heat until the pasta is coated.

Season the pasta with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
