Classic Fettuccine Alfredo Pasta Food

FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Drain. Stir 2 cups of the cream and the lemon juice in a heavy large skillet to blend. Add the butter and cook over medium heat just until the butter melts, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the pasta and toss. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of cream, and Parmesan to the cream sauce in the skillet. Add the lemon zest, nutmeg, salt, and white pepper. Toss the pasta mixture over low heat until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute.

Steps:

• Cook Noodles in salted water according to package directions, approx 10-15 minutes.
• Drain well and place in a container (chafing dish or skillet) large enough to allow enough room to toss slippery noodles without accident.
• Place over low heat or sterno.
• Add butter in several hunks to the noodles and stir gently until it melts and coats them well.
• Add the cream and stir in a generous amount of black pepper.
• (Use a peppermill here if you have one).
• Add the cheese, saving a small amount for later use on top of portions (Cheese is sometimes grated into the dish, but I like to have mine ready).
• Stir as mixture thickens and clings to noodles.
• Serve immediately.
• Pass the remaining cheese.

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni and cook for 2 minutes less than the package instructions. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.
