ITALIAN ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter in frying pan over medium heat.
• Crack pepper into melted butter, more is better, at least 1 Tbsp (cracked).
• Add Garlic Salt to taste (at least 1 tsp).
• Add Cream.
• Melt in slowly at least 4 Tbsp of paramesan or Tbsp for every person over 4 people, i.e. 6 people - 6 Tbsp.
• Stir constantly, do not allow sauce to "break" or bubble up and foam. This makes the sauce runny.
• Once sauce has reached desired thickness, mix sauce with pasta, adding more parmesan to glue it all together.

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.

Using tongs, gently toss the pasta with the butter and cheese, adding pasta water as necessary to create a creamy looking sauce. Top with a few grinds of pepper.
