Amazing Fettuccine Alfredo

I love, love, love fettuccine. You can never go wrong with this dish, it is always amazing and leaves you stuffed. Sometimes it's good to not be able to move... :)


Ingredients
8 ounces dried fettuccine
3 pinches of salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
extra grated or finely shredded Parmesan cheese for topping
chopped fresh parsley

1. Place 8 cups of water into a pot, with the 3 pinches of salt and olive oil. Bring the water to a full boil before adding dry fettuccine. Boil for about 10-12 minutes, or until your desired tenderness.
2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan heat the cream over medium-low heat. Add butter and whisk gently to melt. 
3. Sprinkle in the cheese, stirring to incorporate it into the cream mixture. Season with pepper. 
4. Drain the pasta and quickly add to the pan, gently tossing to coat evenly. 
5. Transfer to a warm serving dish and top with grated cheese and chopped parsley.
6. Enjoy with garlic bread or Caesar salad!
