Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Pasta and Sauce
  • 12 ounces fettuccine pasta
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Ensure Halal-friendly.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Ensure Halal-friendly.
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Garnish
  • Chopped parsley Optional, for garnish.

Method
 

Cooking the Pasta
  1. Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook per package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water before draining.
Preparing the Sauce
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Pour in the heavy cream and stir until combined. Allow to simmer for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Combining Ingredients
  1. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water until desired consistency is achieved.
  2. Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce, gently tossing to combine and coat the pasta evenly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serving
  1. Plate your creamy fettuccine and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your meal!

Notes

Experiment with cheeses like Pecorino Romano or mozzarella for a different twist. Combine pasta with sauce immediately after cooking for best texture. To store, keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat gently with a splash of cream or milk.
