Fettuccini Alfredo

Fettuccini Alfredo

1 lb. cooked and drained fettuccini noodles
1 stick butter
1 pt. heavy cream
1 C. parmesan cheese, grated (not the powdered in the can stuff)
Pepper to taste

In saucepan over medium high heat, melt together butter and cream. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium. Let simmer about 5 minutes or until it starts to slightly thicken (the quality of the cream will depend on how long this takes.) Add the parmesan a little at a time, stir constantly. Sauce will thicken more as the cheese is added. Pour over hot noodles.

Variations: add chicken breast, peas, broccoli, shrimp, basil, garlic, or other add-ins
